Terra Linda Community Center and Pool

"We loved coming to this pool to escape the city fog and cold summers. Love the remodeled restrooms. Tot pool is great for letting parents relax a bit while letting kids play. Well staffed. Across the street is sushi, burritos, deli market, and a bakery.. A built in family day adventure! The Orcas , swim team meet here too. They all have been a team for 60 years! Also here are ceramics classes and other comnunity events along with a basketball court blacktop and a sandy playground. People hang out on the lawns, sometimes throwing balls for dogs. Even though dogs are explicitly allowed. Birthday parties are held at the picnic tables. Reservations may be needed for that. People just get along here."

"I tried to learn how to swim at this location and my experience was horrible and disappointing. I was assigned a swim instructor who taught swimming lessons on the day I wasn’t available even though I communicated my availability beforehand. Then I was reassigned another swim instructor who I waited a week to hear from and they never reached out to me. I gave up it was the most unorganized chaotic experience. At that point I was too apprehensive and scared to learn how to swim at this location. I sent an email to the person I won’t say his name who register me for swimming lessons communicating my disappointment and personal experience no response from him. I made the best choice to find another place to learn how to swim. There was no professionalism there or accountability."

"Had my first visit to this pool today. Had to pay $9 as a visitor because I didn't bring my ID with me from the car and it was too far to walk back. San Rafael residents pay $5. The pool was nice and very clean. There were eight lanes available for laps, Plus a place on the side for people who just want to get cooled off. There is also a tiny tots pool and a sprinkler to play in. There are a few small trees on the lawn, if you are like me and prefer shade to the hot sun, and you can pull a chair over and relax in the shade. There were four shower heads available in the ladies' locker room, not private stalls, and lockers you can place your own lock on. The staff was nice. The parking lot has no shade but does have two handicap spots near the sidewalk. I think if the place was crowded, such as on a weekend with all the kids out of school, you might run out of parking. It is on a one-way Street that did not look easy to park on. The only complaint I have about this pool is that they did not have any noodles avail nor waist floaties available for the public. These are items that almost every public pool makes available for use by patrons and I had difficulty doing my workout without either one. Other than that, this is a pretty nice pool and I would definitely go again during the week when the crowd is not bad."

"I LOVE terra Linda Pool!!!!!!! The bouncy course is 5 star, and guarantees that you or your family will have a fun filled fab time here at the pool. My kids love this pool, and I would recommend it to everyone. The water quality is AMAZING, and the indoor showers are quite good for an outdoor pool. When I first saw the pool in pictures, I thought it might be leafy because it might be near trees, and the trees might shed. Overall it is an amazing experience and my kids could come here every day of summer if they could. THANKS TERRA LINDA POOL!!!! KISSES!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️"

"Great community pool for the warm summer months. There are some tables and chairs, but there often seem to be parties hosted here. So on popular days, might need to bring a picnic blanket for the grass. Some families bring a sun tent. There is a small wading pool for the younger kids. Remember to bring some water toys. No floaties allowed for the big pool, so that means your kid needs to be able to swim or you will have to go in with your child. Bathrooms have showers and there is a family bathroom for younger kids."
