About Glen Park Recreation Center
Honestly, 4.7 stars from over 200 reviews is a solid rating for a public pool, especially in a city the size of San Francisco. That tells me a lot of folks like swimming here. It's the Glen Park Recreation Center, over on Elk Street. From what I see, they're open pretty consistently during the week, from 10 AM to 8 PM, which gives people a good window to get some laps in after work or school. Weekends, they're closed Sundays and have shorter hours on Saturday. My guess is it's a popular spot for the local community given those hours and the good reviews. If you're planning a visit, I'd suggest Tuesday through Friday for the longest open swim times, or Saturday mornings.
