Excellent - cold pool, but super refreshing swims. Excellent for swim training & keeping fit in an ourdoors environment in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged 6 and up, or adults seeking outdoor lap swimming in a scenic park setting. The environment is genuinely attractive — shaded grassy surrounds, sun chairs, and resident ducks.

Amazing clean pool, lots of grassy chill spots and SUN CHAIRS! Staff are friendly, as are the locals. LOVE the ducks hanging around too.

Question? Why do you not warn the public that you will be closed for private bookings? Twice this has happened, I’ve spent my time getting to you and you are closed to the public. Can you point to where on your website you let the public know you will not be open on certain dates. I’ve tried calling and no answer.
