★★★★★Featured review by Lisa Edsall

I believe this pool is salt water chemical and not chlorine 🤔 Haven't been in there yet but my daughter had swimming sports and it didn't seem to affect her skin 👌 They have free entry on fridays from 4pm-6pm 👏

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families wanting a relaxed, well-maintained outdoor pool experience away from crowded metro facilities. The 50m pool, kids area and BBQ setup suit a half-day family outing. Water slide fans should confirm hours before visiting. The free Friday afternoon session is a reliable community fixture.

“It's a decent little local pool with a 50-meter pool, a small kids' pool, and a water slide (though with limited hours). There's also a basketball hoop, BBQ facilities, a shaded area with fake grass, and some park benches and beach chairs scattered around.”

Overview

Pines Forest Swimming Centre features a heated 50m outdoor pool, a separate children's pool, and a water slide with restricted operating hours. Facilities include a basketball hoop, shaded seating with fake grass, BBQ equipment, park benches, and accessible change rooms with an entry hoist. The pool is believed to run on saltwater chemistry rather than standard chlorine, which reviewers note is gentler on skin. Free Family Fridays run from – with occasional sausage sizzles.
