George Bolton Swimming Centre Burnside

📍 Hazelwood Park, SA

★4.6(312 Google reviews)👶All ages

Outdoor swimming centre in Hazelwood Park with three pools spanning toddler to adult depth, set among mature eucalyptus trees. On-site BBQ areas, a cafe, change rooms and a kiosk with goggles available.

✓ Natural bush setting✓ Three pools✓ Free BBQs✓ Friendly lifeguards✓ Toddler pool✓ Long walk from parking

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families wanting a relaxed outdoor swim day with the feel of a park rather than a commercial pool. The toddler pool and BBQs make it work for all ages across a full day. First-time visitors should map the entrance before arriving — the car park is far and the gate is not obvious from the road.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Map the entrance on your phone before arriving — the car park is a long walk and the gate is easy to miss
⏰Goggles can be bought at the kiosk if you forget yours
🎟️BBQs are free to use — bring your own meat for a poolside cook-up
🚗A seniors swim program runs regularly; inquire at the desk for current schedule

“Been passing this pool for years but this morning drove from Brighton have a swim. Brilliant pool in a stunning location. Coffee was world class and cafe staff were friendly and professional as were the life guards. Bit weird in this day an age to have little school children (unaccompanied by an adult or teacher) wandering through the change rooms where grown men were getting changed, but that's probably more a school issue.”

“Beautiful pool, though bees can be a problem. As an elderly person who lives alone and doesn't get a lot of social contact, it was really lovely to have lifeguard Dan have a brief friendly chat to me. Really made my day. And I learnt that there is a seniors swim program though I believe that is fully booked. I will be putting my name on the waiting list for that.”

“Beautiful location set amongst old eucalyptus trees with lots of grass area for sitting. Good facilities, change rooms, restrooms, kiosk, and 3 pools for different ages. The lifeguards are attentive. There's even a couple public BBQs and tables. It's all right next to a beautiful huge park with some play equipment. You can buy goggles inside if you need.”

Overview

George Bolton Swimming Centre offers three outdoor pools — a large main pool, an intermediate pool and a toddler-friendly pool — in a bush-like setting with natural shade from old eucalyptus trees. Families can use the public BBQs beside the pool or the on-site cafe. Goggles are available at the kiosk. Attentive lifeguards are praised in reviews. Car park is a substantial walk from the entrance and the entry point can be hard to locate on a first visit.
