Rankin Aquatic Center

There aren't many splash pads and water areas in this part of of the Bay so this is a great hidden gem. There's a shallow pool that goes to like 3 feet right next to the splash pad area. I love that there are several life guards on duty and a shaded seating area. The locker room has a few changing areas with curtains for privacy. Overall, I love this place and so does my 8-year-old daughter. The only reason I gave it four stars is because I had to pay to get in even though I'm not in the water and the parking kind of sucks. Next time I'll be sure to suit up and get my money's worth! $5 for kids $7 for adults

This place is amazing! It’s appropriate for all ages. Toddlers have plenty of space to play and be safe and the big kids have room to do big splashes and do big kid things. One thing I noticed right away is the severity of safety. The lifeguards on duty are extremely attentive and they have a lot of them monitoring the facility. Definitely a welcoming space and not overwhelming with too many people Definitely worth a little bit of a drive (but no more than an hour) I have a toddler so there aren’t too many water play places in the Bay Area appropriate for toddlers.

Great place to cool off and keep the kids busy. Swimming pools of all depths for all ages. Life Guard stands all around the complex.

Water was clean, cool and refreshing. Plenty of places to sit\lay out. Parking was good. Parking maybe an issue on weekends or busier days. I'm impressed. Total blast.

Lifeguards need to be more vigilant, or the pool should implement a program where the head lifeguard randomly tosses a toddler doll into the water to test the on-duty lifeguards’ alertness and reaction times. Today, my wife and I were at the pool, and as we were setting down our belongings, our 3-year-old son, thinking he was an Olympic swimmer, jumped into the water. Fortunately, we noticed him struggling to the surface for a breath. My wife let out a panicked scream, and we quickly pulled him out before he went under again. Shockingly, not one of the two or three lifeguards on duty noticed the incident or approached to check if everything was okay. Initially, I thought it might have happened too quickly, but several families nearby, who saw or heard my wife’s scream, came over to ask if
