Tucked into a sun-drenched clearing among the redwoods just a few miles northeast of downtown Boulder Creek, The BCRPD Bear Creek Recreation and Community Center Pool shimmers aquamarine in the last heat of an early summer day. Languid months ahead promise the work- and school-weary the luxury of lazy – chilling poolside with friends and family, drinking in the welcome warmth – these are the days! Take the plunge Monday through Friday 1:30-7:00 pm, and Sundays 2:00-6:00 pm (closed Saturdays). Tantalizingly close: 15685 Forest Hill Drive, Boulder Creek | Online: www.bcrpd.org/bear-creek
