Positive experience: I think this pool is already well known in the area so it's no secret. Enjoying lane swimming here, just have to watch the sunburn. The pool temperature is really good for an outdoor pool and the changing rooms are spacious and clean and well made.
thanks so much Chris! have a great summer!
Fantastic experience: Kids loved it!! Lots of BBQ tables and I think you can borrow the BBQ too. The kids pool is 0.8m deep with a small waterfall into a toddlers area (covered). Then there's the bigger pool which is 0.9m-1.2m and have a couple of lanes to use but half the pool is freeplay space. Good little splash pad area too. Friendly staff and they sell ice blocks too!!
Thanks Aline! Glad you had a great day, see you again soon!

Positive experience: A lovely old fashioned style outside pool. It is only open in the warmer months of the year. Kiddie pool (with a small ramped section for babies/toddlers separated by an overflow wall to the main kiddie pool) and a larger main pool for swimming. The deeper end of main pool is 1.2 metres. There is some seating, grass areas and picnic tables. There is also a water play area that is great fun.

Fantastic experience: The summer destination this year. Fun for all the family. Have now made it a habit to go here after work.
