Taking the Plunge in Good old Brea for Summer Fun!
Most would call it a pool, yet in Brea it’s known as the plunge. It’s a municipal pool as commonly known in most communities, but here it’s still the plunge. How many years (if any) have you ever heard of a municipal pool being called a plunge? It’s throw back to years gone-by. In fact, this is the oldest continually operated municipal pool in all of Orange County. And today, it’s alive with fun for all.
City Hall Park (former home of our city hall, hence the name) on Brea Blvd. is the home of this California classic, built back just before the great depression in 1929. And the original cost to swim? Ten-cents for the afternoon.
Today the plunge continues to be a place for summer fun, just take a look at these kids. In addition life-guard training and aquatics take place in morning sessions this summer.
