About Rinconada Pool
If you're looking for an outdoor pool that's open all year, Rinconada in Palo Alto is a good bet. They keep it heated, which is nice. I know a lot of people are particular about that. It's got lap lanes, so it's good for getting some exercise in, and they do swim lessons too. From the reviews I've seen, it's pretty well-regarded, sitting at a 4.3 out of 5 stars with over 150 reviews. That's a solid rating for a public pool. It's a city pool, so the prices are usually pretty reasonable. They list drop-in rates at six bucks for adults, four for youth, and they also have passes if you plan on going a lot. Always call ahead or check their site for the latest on passes and availability, since those things can change. Phone number is (650) 463-4953.
