Sea Ranch: Ohlson Recreation Center - Sea Ranch, California

Scott Pactor

I just wanted to post my sick pictures of this architectural landmark. This spot is peak Sea Ranch. You literally need a pass to get in, and they check. You need a separate reservation to use the lap pool. You can use the kiddie side of the pool without prior reservation. They don't provide any towels, there is no food or drink. There is a sauna, men's, women's and family. It's an incredible minimalist triumph but not particularly comfortable or fun.... just like everything at the enviro-fascist paradise that is Sea Ranch.

There's also a native plant garden and a library they made out of the Ohlson ranch house next to the parking lot. You have to be a guest of Sea Ranch to enter but you can look at it for free from the parking lot.

I love this recreational center and I love sea ranch however - I had a very unfortunate experience with the older man working at the front kiosk. He immediately treated me like I shouldn’t be there / assumed I didn’t have my right pass without really explaining what I needed to show in the first place / tried to turn me and my younger sister and her friend away. I realized the correct pass was in my car, I went to get it and showed it to him. He made sure to tell me a few times the center was closing soon and snootily informed me that if I was late to the gate it would be locked. I’m guessing he was just assuming since we were young, we would be rowdy or disrespectful or something - very rude man. We enjoyed our time despite him, though!

Nice recreation center with a nice pool and a great view of the ocean.

Large meeting room with at least 4 smaller adjacent rooms. First classing meeting spaces. A large kitchen is there. Many fund raising dinners are held here. A great place in a beautiful setting. Only TSRA members can reserve the facility.

I’ve been going to Ohlson since about the time it was first built and I was a baby, so it has a special place in my heart. It’s a beautiful piece of architecture with a well-heated pool, sauna, basic tennis courts and simple half-court basketball hoop. On the down-side, the pool is often filled with detritus and tree leaves and the facilities could use a modern update to bring it out of the 70s. It would also be amazing to bring back the water slide that I used to love as a kid!

Very nice swimming pool, relaxing sauna, and even a hose to wash off the salt water and sand at the back gate before you hop in the pool. Basketball court is ok, tennis courts are very well maintained.
