Outdoor seasonal pool complex open October to April with a 25-metre lap pool, leisure pool, and shallow splash pool with shade sails for babies and toddlers. Good value for weekday visits.

✓ Affordable outdoor pool✓ Great for young kids✓ Toddler splash zone✓ Quieter on weekdays✓ Shade sails

🏆 Family Action Verdict

A solid seasonal choice for families with young children who want an affordable outdoor pool close to the CBD. The shallow splash area with shade sails is well-suited for babies and toddlers. Weekday visits offer space and easy access; weekend sessions can involve queues. Best visited in the morning before crowds build.

“Update: great outdoor pool, good for little kids and adults, for the last 4-3 years, no problem getting access, as I believe the years following COVID access to the pool was limited. Previous review: Nice outdoor pool but unfortunately unable to get in for the last 2 years everytime my son and i tried going, there has been a long queue outside, no details why there arent letting people in but the pool is just a quarter full and we have to wait till someone leaves before someone is allowed in after several times trying and waiting for 20 mins we have to change our plans and we end up at the beach instead. We wont attend this pool anylonger. If you are planning to go be prepared to wait on long long queues or be there the first thing in the morning.”
