Swimming Pool
The Redwood Estates swimming pool was constructed in 1929 and is enjoyed by the residents of Redwood Estates. Set against the beautiful backdrop of the Santa Cruz Mountains, it is a great place to get together with friends to enjoy a refreshing swim on a hot day. The onsite Snack Shack offers a variety of snacks and beverages. Certified lifeguards are on duty at all times.

Playgrounds
Originally developed in the early to mid 1900s, the Redwood Estates playgrounds have been renovated for safety reasons. With significant funding from FIRST 5, the Western Region of Santa Clara County, and in collaboration with RESA, these playgrounds were completed in August 2007.
The playgrounds have been a labor of love by many individuals across the Santa Cruz Mountains. Several people have devoted extensive personal time to help design, negotiate, develop, and implement these playgrounds. The principal goal is to provide settings that can be shared by our community members and more important, provide places for our children to play, imagine, and socialize. Particular attention has been given to providing playground equipment for children of young ages and an inclusive environment for children with special needs.
