Baseball Pool
Wednesday, 4th July 2007 by James Turnbull
It's been a while since we've seen a new something-shaped swimming pool here on Google Sightseeing.
So, just in time for the summer holidays, here's a swimming pool in the shape of a Baseball bat with a smaller, ball shaped, jacuzzi pool alongside.
Now a golf resort, this hotel was originally built as a spring training camp for the San Francisco Giants. Other baseball related features are the diamond shaped car park (since expanded) and a tower which resembles a baseball cap.
More info on the hotel's history.
Previous pools: Planes, Dolphins, Guitars, Hearts and Swords.

‘Diamond shaped car park’?
Square you mean? Like ….erm…erh…urh…most carparks?
Thats stretching the ‘baseball related attractions’ a bit isnt it?
Not being American, or indeed, into baseball at all, I still think the baseball diamond is actually more diamond shaped than square shaped.

As long as the foul area wasn’t included of course.
Even more appropriate, as the San Francisco Giants used the facility, would be a swimming pool shaped like a syringe full of steroids.
Ah! I see what you mean. I was working on the assumption that the diamond was the bit they ran round which is a square is it not? I know nothing of this ‘sport’ either except that when Homer had to give up beer he came to the realisation that baseball is so dull that it cannot be watched sober!
The old diamond to the east could use a bit of water…
