This hidden oasis is nestled in the hills of Orinda, just a few minutes from the Orinda Theater Square. As a neighborhood pool, we are committed to preserving the historical significance to the Community.
Our historic pool is situated among towering oaks, has a children’s wading section and larger pool complete with diving board and lap lanes. The water ranges from 1 foot in the wading area to 9 feet at the deepest end. Floaties are allowed in the pool unlike at other pools. Sun loungers, picnic tables and BBQ grills complement the perfect day at the pool.
No lifeguard is on duty at any time. We open starting Memorial Day weekend to mid-October. The actual day of closure is weather-dependent.
Looking forward to another WONDERFUL SUMMER at OAK SPRINGS!

A Historic Oasis
Oak Springs Pool, originally spring-fed, was built in 1929 on land reserved for general recreational use by residents of the area. Nathan Gray, a prominent early 20th century land owner in Oak Springs, led the project. The pool was built on the site of a man-made swimming hole circa 1900. The spring no longer feeds the pool, however remnants of the original rock-laid fountain still exist on the ivy-covered hillside adjacent to the pool.
In 1945, residents in the area built a clubhouse on the property. They formed a homeowners’ association to help manage and maintain the facilities and oversee membership. The volunteer-run board of directors continues to manage this not-for-profit facility today.
We are proud of the history of Oak Springs Pool and clubhouse and strive to continue the tradition of making this beautiful spot a magical source of recreation and relaxation for all members. We look forward to hosting your fun-filled summers and year-round events for many years to come.
