  • As a kid I always wanted to take a swim in the reflection pool at that place. LOL At the temple structure itself, before bars were put into place, people used to dive down into the temple opening and ride the water stream down to the lake, similar to a waterpark slide ride.
  • Also see the Sunol Water Temple across the Bay to the East. It is a similar structure.
