My brother and I learned how to swim as kids at that indoor pool back in 1968. Our father worked there and we had so many great times at the park. As a child, there was a story going around about these “killer albino cannibals” that lived in hidden caves at the park. They would come out at night to kill and eat anyone they could catch. I heard it as a kid, and always got anxious to leave as soon as dusk came around. Went there about 15 years ago as a chaperone for my son field trip there and asked a worker there if she had heard about the legend of the cannibals, to my surprise she said yes.
I spent two years in the ranch above alum rock; you brought tears to my eyes as I relived memories! I was very young and we had to move so I could start first grade. The ranch above the park was just too remote for safe travel.
Beautiful Mijo!! I love the fact that you took into consideration the Native American perspective. Also, a well done research of all the historical aspects of the park.
our intire family would go there every sunday after church,,and i have seen caged lions ,,at one time i remember on the news a lion escaped,,i do miss alumrock park

Thanks for sharing. First time I visited this park was 63 years ago. I did see the indoor swimming pool. And the caged lions.
There are caged lions?? Sounds cool. Alum Rock must have been like a local amusement park back then
