Description
This June 19, 1937, photograph shows the Clunie Memorial Swimming Pool at McKinley Park, located at Alhambra and F Streets. The pool, clubhouse and recreational facilities were designed by Sacramento-based architect Harry Devine, in association with the architectural firm of Starks and Flanders. On the pool’s opening day, in August 1936, 2,500 visitors were expected and 4,500 showed to see a beauty contest and an exhibition of “fancy and comic diving.” The facility was financed by a 150,000 dollar bequeathal from Florence Turton Clunie.
