Description
Photograph of people swimming in a pool at Griffith Park, ca.1930. Spectators watch from behind a wire fence on the left as children and adults alike wade in the water of a large rectangular pool. On the right-hand side of the pool, a boy walks on a diving board surrounded by several people. Left of him, beneath an unfinished arcade, sit more spectators. Behind the diving board area is a large two-story house-like structure with two main doors. In the foreground, to the right, is a small structure with wooden planks laid atop it. Left of this is a wire fence that surrounds the perimeter of the pool with two bicycles leaning against it at a corner. Left of the pool end is another roofed structure that lies behind the fence. Behind it is a thicket of trees, and on the distant hillside is a sign that reads "Forest Lawn Memorial Park".
