Orinda Park Pool

What Orinda Park Pool does

Orinda Park Pool is a nonprofit, member-only family swimming facility operated by Orinda Park Pool, Inc. in Orinda, California, with a history tracing back to 1921 (Lake Orinda) and formal incorporation as a nonprofit in 1937. The organization operates from a single physical facility at 72 El Toyonal and serves local families, seniors, and children through annual memberships, a competitive swim team (the Stingrays, competing in the OMPA league), a summer Kids Camp for ages 4-12, adult lap swimming, poolside yoga, swim lessons, and an on-site cafe (Stingray Cafe). The pool operates seasonally from March through October, with membership gated by a waitlist and a 50% cap on non-Orinda residents.

The facility's technology stack is built on third-party SaaS rather than proprietary systems: Captyn handles membership management and billing (opp.captyn.com), One Eleven's BUILD platform powers the public website, SportsEngine/GoMotionApp supports the swim team, and Sign Up Genius manages lap-lane reservations. A PM2.5 sensor feeds a real-time AQI display on the homepage, with closure protocols triggered above AQI 150. No AI/ML, mobile app, or proprietary platform components are noted.

The revenue model is diversified across recurring membership dues (Family $2,250/year, Senior $1,313/year), one-time initiation fees ($2,000, of which $900 is refundable on exit), summer camp tuition ($400/week or $350 full summer), guest passes (10 free per household, then $5/person), party reservations, and ancillary cafe revenue. Membership is the dominant revenue stream and is supply-constrained, with a waitlist exceeding 100 non-resident applicants and a stable base of long-tenured members, making the business a capacity-limited, community-anchored stewardship rather than a growth vehicle.
