The summer may be waning but temperatures will be rising around the Bay Area for Labor Day weekend. Instead of road-tripping to the beach, stay cool and splash it out at one of the Bay Area's impressive aquatic complexes. From Morgan Hill to El Cerrito, you'll find both Olympic-sized lap pools and zero-depth wading areas with everything kids and adults could ask for slides, geysers, and cabanas. Yes, you can leave the sand toys at home.
