Driving Directions to Lions Pool:

Lions Pool is located in Dimond Park, 3860 Hanly Road, Oakland 94602. There are two ways to arrive at the park, depending on if you are dropping off swimmers or parking your car. 

Drop Off:  If you are dropping off swimmers and would like to watch them as they walk to the pool, but in the comfort of your car, the directions are as follows:

From Montclair, take Park Blvd downhill toward the Glenview District.  Turn left on Wellington Street.  Keep going until the street meets the park.  There is limited parking along Wellington as it turns west at the park, and also street parking.  Good view of the pool area. 

Parking Lot:  If you plan to park and go down to the pool with your swimmer, follow these directions: 

From Montclair, take Park Blvd downhill toward the Glenview District.  Turn left on El Centro Ave. Continue on El Centro until Hanly Road, right on Hanly.  Continue on Hanly until it turns into a parking lot.  Take the stairs down to the pool.
