The area between the zoo, the ocean, and Fort Funston was once Fleishhacker Pool, a thousand-foot-long swimming pool; it was so big that lifeguards had to patrol the pool in boats. The 116,000 square feet of surface held 6.3 million gallons of chilly ocean water. Built in 1925, the pool gradually fell into disuse; in 1984, it was covered with earth.
