Just a block from Mission Dolores Park, and around the corner from trendy shopping and restaurants on Valencia St, I would have never guessed that there was an outdoor pool right there in the heart of the city.
The building itself could use some updating. The locker rooms definitely have *character*- there is all kinds of wood paneling, and orange and red tiling in the showers and walls. The shower area itself was confusing- there were 3 showers in a small, very dimly lit (and orange-tiled) room. Although the locker room was obviously outdated, the only thing that was truly missing that other SF city pools included is a swim suit dryer.
The pool was busy compared with other SF city pools I have visited; I was surprised to see 2-3 people per lane. It was a smaller pool (4 lanes, 30 yards), with narrow lanes, and it did feel crowded. Some were waiting for swimmers to leave before hopping in for their swim- my lane mate complained about running into the entry/exit ladders when swimming near the wall, and I did get breaststroke kicked.
Apart from the number of people, it was such a treat to swim outside right in the middle of the city.The Mission Pool is a hidden gem best meant for anyone who is comfortable with no-frills locker rooms, and is looking to get outside to enjoy a casual swim.
Amazing public swimming pool and picnic area,
Check pool schedule before you come..
Friendly staff, and friendly people even when it gets crowded. Relatively clean changing rooms. Good value for lap swimming.
I have not been to the pool, but the playground was a ton of fun on a hot day. It’s newly remodeled with a great splash pad with fountains and water to run through. Kids were soaked and having fun. Around the corner, there is a bigger playground with a sand ground and lots of climbing structures.
I went to Mission Pool park simply to see the gorgeous mural and wasn’t disappointed. It’s quite beautiful and while the trees may get in the way of a photo, it’s totally worth a visit to admire the art.
If you happen to require a restroom, there’s one outside the playground area and it’s quite clean.
