Lots of rain in Northern California...
Growing up in Southern California, yes most schools had a gym, that was where we went to play Dodge Ball when it rained.
In PE (this is somewhat tony Newport Beach remember) most activities were outdoor - the usual football/baseball/basketball but also water polo and tennis.
My favourite elementary school which I did not get to attend was RIGHT ON THE BEACH. They actually paved a large area of the sand so the kids would have a blacktop to play basketball and tetherball and hopscotch etc at recess.
That blacktop was basically all the kids' beachside roller skating rink in the summer.
I have seen some schools in Hawaii like that too.
I've seen that school. My junior high was two blocks from the sand.
Oh and all the junior highs and high schools have surf teams.
