Sunny Hills Aquatic Club

I have lived in the Walnut Creek area for 40 plus years and in my current Rudgear home for the last 30 years. Sunny Hills Pool is close by and very convenient. I have been a member off and on for the last 25 years. I have also been a active Board member in which I enjoyed very much.
I am sorry that the pool has struggled many of these past years to maintain a decent number of members. With a continuing low membership and financial deficit these past years the pool is rapidly deteriorating. The pool has become a place where members drop off old tacky household items that create a very uncomfortable and cluttered decorum. Unusual and different from any other private pool club I have seen.
I have with regret taken back 4 of the stars that I once happily gave this neighborhood pool and left just 1 lonely star as I think that is all it deserves at this time.

Sunny Hills Aquatic Club is a member-​owned community swimming pool in Southern Walnut Creek. It features a full pool, a wading area, a hot tub, a BBQ area, and plenty of shaded and sunny deck space. It was founded in 1956, the year I was born.
I was here today as part of a Walnut Creek CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) Drill for the Sugarloaf neighbourhood. I played an injury victim as part of an Earthquake scenario. I was a pretty straightforward role, with my Triage colour being Yellow for my wound, and Red if I became delirious. Unfortunately, Gayle vetoed my idea of adding a little science fiction and playing a flesh eating Zombie.
It was generous of the Sunny Hills Aquatic Club to allow the CERTs to practice their Search and Rescue skills. I also had some time on my hands and toured the entire facility, inside and out. I even dipped my toe in the water, so to speak.
If I lived in the neighbourhood and didn’t have a pool at home, this is where I would love to hang out. However, judging by the obvious need for some capital improvements, the membership adverts, and evolving State regulations and demographics, this place appears to be struggling. I wish this place well.
