What makes it 83% Solo-Friendly: Lap lanes, aqua-aerobics and beach volleyball give a solo visitor varied exercise, and the café lets you relax afterward; public transport and parking are close, so coming alone is easy.
Why 2–3 hours visit duration is ideal for solo trip: Allows time for lap swimming, a class, and a café break without rushing.
Lap-lane swimming:
Swim laps in the 50 m pool at your own pace.
Tip: Bring goggles and towel; aim for off-peak times (late morning) for empty lanes.
Aqua aerobics classes:
Join a water-fitness session to boost strength and meet locals.
Tip: Check the timetable online and arrive 5 minutes early to grab a lane.
Friday Night PBs:
Time your 50 m swims on Friday evenings with timing support.
Tip: Pay only pool entry; arrive by 5:45 pm to register.
Beach volleyball:
Play a casual game on sand courts beside the pool.
Tip: Bring or borrow a ball at reception; courts are first-come, first-served.
Café and deck time:
Relax with coffee and Wi-Fi on the pool deck.
Tip: Order a flat white (~A$4) and find a shaded seat near the café.

Clean, lush, and well-kept. Enough space for dozens of families, the facilities are modern and maintained well. Good for picnic and family events Multiple pools for all age ranges. Would love to have sliders for the children pool though but compensated with water play area Clean changing rooms and toilets too. And sell enough icy pops for everyone
Denis
Great, and I'd like to see a sauna here too)

Employ more staff and train them!! Great pool but management has to employ more front staff. It shouldn’t take 10 minutes to get an ice cream or drink, and the same overwhelmed staff manage the food and entry. On busy days this is terribly handled - only one young staff trying to make coffee, sell food, and admit people. Just train and put more staff on on busy days -

Great service, clean amenities and a good variety of pools for children. Gorgeous atmosphere and scenery, fluffy grass and picnic tables and BBQs around too. Not a big variety of food options though (chips, pies, sausage rolls only hot food options), but the coffee is okay and the service is really good all around.
Debra Giuliano
Great shade, clean facilities BBQs, showers and loos) not over-chlorinated water, fun water park, good coffee, friendly staff, plenty of sun safe pool areas for everyone. The only downside is there are no healthy options at the canteen.
Pool water can feel chilly in winter; switch to the heated learners’ pool or wear a wetsuit.
