★★★★★Featured review by Lukas Lindblom

Really nice park with gym and outdoor pool. I spent many days here during my exchange in Sydney. Very convenient as it is close to both Broadway Shopping centre and University of Sydney. A good bang for the buck, $15 a week for students and classes are included! Overall very happy with my experience here. The only downside I found was perhaps a lack of work out equipment in the gym.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with school-age children wanting an affordable outdoor pool close to the CBD. The toddler splash area suits younger children on hot days, and the grassed surrounds work well for families setting up for a few hours.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Confirm the children's splash pool is open before entering if visiting with non-swimmers
⏰Bring your own shade — umbrellas at the pool are sparse
đŸŽŸī¸Bring folding chairs as poolside seating is sparse
🚗Free parking is available at the venue

“Lovely place to escape the heat! Very small fee to enter, great clean pool, lots of free space on the grass to set up, my only recommendation would be a few more umbrellas just to provide some shade!”

“A great public pool that's always clean. Some grass areas and umbrellas and a few benches & tables but could definitely do with some extra seating or deck-chairs. The staff are friendly and lifeguards are on duty. Bathrooms could be updated and kept cleaner for a better user experience. Overall, a good place to have a swim, exercise or an afternoon at a pool.”

“Nice outdoor pool with friendly localz. Yesterday was code brown that meant pool down, in all my time that was the first time that happened, except no tangible refund. I took swimming up slowly but here it is easy to spend a day. Small gym with bare essentials. More a place for cardio enthusiasts than anything else. Memberships available and affordable.”
