Located on Embarcadero Road, Rinconada Park is a 19-acre city park and is home to Palo Alto’s municipal swimming pool. Established in 1922, Rinconada Park is the second oldest park in the city after El Camino Park. Originally called Waterworks because of its proximity to a reservoir and a well, Rinconada, which is Spanish for “corner,” is set in a landscape of redwood and live oak trees.

The park features picnic areas with barbecues, two children’s playgrounds, jogging and walking paths, six lighted tennis courts and three non-lighted tennis courts. Near the park there is a children’s theater, a community theater, and community meeting rooms.
