Prince Alfred Park Public Pool

Nice facilities. Clean pool. Very nice and helpful staff. Clean toilets and showers. They have swimming lanes and free lane.

Heated outdoor pools, very clean - pool and the changing rooms and toilet areas. Friendly staff and plenty of shaded areas. I’ve lived in the surrounding area since 2004 and have never used this pool before but was a great first experience. Will come back again with the kids when they are older - due to Covid our usual pools have been closed. Also please note all shower areas are closed off too due to Covid.

A friend encouraged me to visit this pool and said it was one of the best in the city, and I’m glad I listened to his rec. Excellent pool for lap swimming (or for lounging about on a sunny day). The water temp is perfect, the pool is very clean, and the other swimmers are respectful. The staff are all very friendly and eager to help.A few things set this pool apart: it’s outdoors and heated to the perfect temp (not too hot or cold), it’s 50 meters, it’s easily accessible via public transportation, and it’s surprisingly quiet for most of the day (outside of early morning and lunchtime, at which times it’s apparently busier). I’ve been swimming here pretty regularly in either the mid morning or afternoon, and it’s rare that I even have to share a lane. Yesterday, I actually had the ENTIRE pool to myself for most of my swim!One thing to note—unlike what another reviewer stated, the lockers are NOT free. I believe they cost $2. Most swimmers leave their bags on the bench in front of the pool, which seems pretty safe.Excellent pool and one of the best I’ve visited during my travels. Highly recommend!

Public heated pool, costing 7.20 AUD per person for a day pass (Jan 2023). It's open air, so it's not as hot as an indoor pool would be, but at a comfortable temperature. The swimming school Different Strokes teaches here from Tue through Sat if you're interested (from beginners to professional level - check their website for time info). At the pool reception they sell swimming equipment, which can be helpful.

Really lovely staff and an overall great pool. But it was SUPER busy at 3.30pm on a Monday. About 7-10 people swimming to a lane and loads of screaming children running around. Nobody seems to adhere to the assigned speeds. Slow swimmers in the slow lane were being pummelled and swum over by super fast swimmers that definitely should have been in another lane. If you're new to swimming or anxious of crowds in general I'd try and suss out when the least busy times are. I tried to ask online about what times were the least crowded but couldn't really get a straight answer. I'll definitely come back another day, perhaps early in the morning or on a day off.

Really impressed with this pool. Firstly it was a very clean facility, wether that’s because it has just reopened after Covid lockdown or this is always the case remains to be seen but my experience was a good one. The water was relatively warm as it is a heated pool, I know sometimes they are ‘heated’ but still feel cold, this pool was a comfortable temperature. The staff were polite. There are seats available with shade.

Friendly staff and an awesome location right next to Central and just outside the CBD with free lockers and hot showers. There’s plenty of umbrellas for shade and an expansive grassy area to relax poolside. It’s an easy walk from Central or Redfern Station. 50m pool split across 9 lanes with the standard slow, medium and fast lane options. There is also squad training on offer as well as learn to swim classes. The pool can be split with a divider to be 25m, and lanes can be booked in the 25 or 50m lengths for events and parties. As at 2021, it’s $6.90 for an adult entry, which is good value considering the location.
