Herkner Memorial Pool
 City
councilman, member of the Port Commission and twice mayor,
Sidney D. Herkner had an illustrious career in Redwood City
government. During his second term as mayor, the Redwood Shores
development got underway, and the Community Activities Building
on Roosevelt Avenue and the swimming pool at Hoover School
were constructed.
Herkner, who died in 1976, left the city a $100,000 bequest,
which was combined with monies from the state to renovate
the pool at Community Park. Renamed the Herkner Memorial Swim
Center in his honor, the remodeled, solar-heated facility
was dedicated on May 16, 1981.
The Herkner pool is one of the two facilities that house Swim
lessons that the Parks, Recreation and Community Services
Department put on each year. The Swim lessons are for those
of all ages with classes for Adults and Parent-Tot. The Herkner
Pool is open Monday thru Saturday with adult lap swim from
noon to 1pm. Open swim for youths is extremely popular with
many child care facilities using the pools too. See above
for rates and times.
Herbert Hoover School Park and
Pool
 Hoover
Park was built to meet the recreation needs of the city's
east side. Also, one of the newest and largest updates to
the city's park system, the 11-acre complex is also the most
recent example of a park project that involved the school
district. The first facility, the swimming pool, was completed
in 1967. In 1982 the city and the school district signed an
agreement which gave the city use of an 8-acre portion of
school property for a park site. The master plan for the park
included two sports fields, a playground area, a handball
court and parking.
Late in 1984 work was completed and the park was in use.
The large multi-purpose field was named for Lázaro
Cárdenas, President of Mexico from 1934 to 1940, who
is remembered in his country for his efforts in redistributing
land and promoting mass education. Dedication ceremonies for
the entire park were held on October 5, 1985.
The Hoover pool is one of the two facilities that house Swim
lessons that the Parks, Recreation and Community Services
Department put on each year. The Swim lessons are for those
of all ages with classes for Adults and Parent-Tot. See above
for times and fees.
