Victoria Park Pool

I love swimming here but if take your children or are not a good swimmer then be aware that on two recent occasions the staff have not dealt promptly with anti-social behaviour.

Great spot to do some laps. Pool is always perfect temp. Nice grass to chill in the sun after

Nice pool! Very clean and amazing staff.Enjoyed my swim and was lucky to come on an open day with free entry, smoothies and bbq!Shower cubicles would be nice though, it’s only open ones with a little privacy.

It was so nice to swim there. The temperature was good and also not crowded.Nice to swim and get some sun read book and go back to swim :) water was very clean so safe to swim. Plenty of showers are available

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.

really nice pool, and not too busy. good amenities and staff - average pricing for a swim (about 5 bux for a student)

One of my favourite places in the world! Such a beautiful, peaceful swim considering you’re in the middle of Sydney. Close to shopping and restaurants so you can swim and then head out for the day/evening. Plus the views are lovely!

I'm a pretty big fan of Victoria Park Pool. I have been coming here on and off for over 20 years. The main reason is it's location which is right next to Sydney University and at a pretty big bus junction (City Road and Parramatta Road/Broadway) so it is convenient for dropping in on the way to or from work or Uni. I have never really used the gym though.Here's the downside: I am slightly underwhelmed by the pricing - it just seems a bit over the odds for what I feel should be priced better than the commercial gyms. It is, after all, owned by the City of Sydney. For what it is - a well worn-in public amenity - residents of the area should be offered a discount - just a suggestion. While I was living overseas, they installed lovely sun-lounges that give it a slightly resort-like feel - I wonder if this was the justify the ex-y price of gym + pool subs...?Also, the cafe is pretty averageThe water is clean (except on super crowded days in the height of heatwaves... my advice would be to stay away on those days).Upside: I can almost always get in 20 - 30 laps (it's Olympic sized - 50m) without being in a crowded lane. In case you're wondering, I swim mainly between 8am and 10am.It can feel like a little oasis in what is otherwise a pretty grungy part of town. It's especially nice to be there on a fine weekday, during school time, when it's quiet and pretty.

Location, location, location. 50-m pool for lap swimming, all day nearly every day of the year, outdoors in Victoria Park in Central Sydney. AUD 6.50, and AUD 2 extra for locker (not returned to you after usage). Swimming experience is optimal. Also swimming / wading area for small children.Unisex showers toilets and changing areas are basic and could use a little renovating, but everything works. Bring your own shampoo.
