The Richmond Plunge. Photo found at Gogobot.
Two years ago this month, the Richmond Plunge once again opened to the public in search of the joyful pleasures of swimming. Located within Pt. Richmond's Municipal Natatorium (a word not often used today), the site is located within Pt. Richmond's Historic District. The public pool originally opened in 1926 to accommodate the community's growth in response to nearby rail and refinery success. As The Berkeley Daily Planet reported, the renovation would ultimately cost $7.5 million, including grants and private gifts.
