Pool House and Pool - Southside Park -Sacramento, CA - NRHP Historic Districts - Contributing Buildings on Waymarking.com

"The current pool house andlocker room facility was completed in 1952. As a public pool operated by the city ofSacramento, the Southside Park pool house was an integrated facility, in contrast to theclosest privately owned public pool, the Land Park Plunge, segregated until a 1952 courtcase, and closed shortly thereafter. This was not the first city park with a public pool, theother being the Clunie Clubhouse pool in McKinley Park, but it was geographicallydistant from Southside, and, according to neighborhood resident Tony Lopez, it waslocated in a white neighborhood, and nonwhite residents of Southside were given “dirtylooks” when they used the McKinley Park pool."
