Victoria Park Pool reviews
67Great customer service here from Brenda, and the swimmers were really friendly too. Fantastic pool!
The swimming pool is nice, changing rooms needs a bit of an updates. Otherwise it is a nice spot.
As a British tourist I just wanted to say thank you so much to this amazing pool. Its clean, affordable, laidback, the staff are super helpful and you can just pay in on the day with no fuss. A great place for a swim, a quick workout or some downtime with a book on the lawn. It was really encouraging to see the place getting into the Pride spirit as well - sport isn't the easiest sector to express LGBT support so it was really lovely to see - ️
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!
Great spot to do some laps. Pool is always perfect temp. Nice grass to chill in the sun after
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
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.
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.
If you work nearby, come for a swim. It is very convenient and only have a few people during after's "happy hour".
Really nice pool, and not too busy.good amenities and staff - average pricing for a swim (about 5 bux for a student)
The pool is nice and clean, busy on weekends before 8am, quiet otherwise. Usually quiet on weekend but can be busy on weekend if it's a sunny day. No free parkings in the park but people can use Broadway carpark, which is 5 minutes walk. Gym equipment is pretty poor but it's on ground floor so fresh air. Group classes are popular and always busy. Shower room has cubicles but no doors. Staff are friendly. Overall would be a nice experience for everyone but just a bit old compared to the new one at Zetland.
Hi there, been swimming at vic Park fir 30 years and love it. Only prob is that theft is rife so always use a locker. I went there today and was told lockers not available nor I was I allowed to leave my stuff at reception, which is what has always been the fallback position in the past in these circumstances. You're letting unvaxed ppl into the pool and yet you have made no provision for ppl to secure their belongings. Can you please fix this? Many thx.
It's very central and easy to reach.has a good sized pool and a reasonable gym. Prices are very reasonable. Friendly staff, but not much parking space. Aside of this, nothing to complain about. Go to it people.
They have an 8 lane, outdoor 50m heated pool alongside a splash pool with water features for the kiddies. They also provide various programs dedicated to improving your swimming.
It wasn't a good experience cos we went allowed to sit on the grass and with children that is ridiculous
Vic Park is an idyllic setting for a swimming foray of any kind.
Many shiny, fresh memories have been made here, the locals can attest.
Spend an hour in the sun. Take the time to hone your freestyle game. Spectate the antics of the cheeky cockatoos as you backstroke. Admire the ample, picnic-ready lawns and big tree shadows from a fashionable distance under one of those big sun umbrellas. Don't forget to pack your best cozzie and some mystery-soaked tinted goggles.
All this at a skipping stone's throw from so many highly frequented locations and popular bus routes! Victoria Park Pool has got it made.
With 4 lanes closed for private bookings there was almost no space to swim! I paid my adult entry and expected to be able to swim laps. 2 closed initially, then another 2 were closing so we had to move to already busy lanes. I felt i was kicked out. Why don't you put up a sign at reception when lanes are closed so that customers can decide whether they're happy or not to enter? The staff at reception said as much too, tired of the complaints.
2 stars is for the lovely setting.
Council please spend some money on fixing up the pool! There is no accessible entry into the pool, apart from large stairs. These are not sufficient for knee injuries or people with walking sticks. When I last went to Victoria Park Pool I tried to enter the pool using stairs with a bolster placed at the bottom but I had to wade through an empty booked lane and was barked at by a swimming teacher. I am currently swimming at Petersham Pool because it has a ramp into the water. Not inclusive enough in 2021.
I was a member for almost a year then I moved to northern suburbs. Recently, I was passing by and I have realized how much I miss this place and the great people working there. Alessandro, Zora, Lucie (exceptional coaches), Ali with his positive vibe and great customer service, Tina who always cheer you up, and so many other great people that I forgot their names. The gym is always organised and they have the best swimming pool in the neighbourhood. Group fitness and yoga classes are among the best in the city.
First time there, unfriendly reception… did the dance class which is OK, but BC no other student due to cancellation of the yoga class after.
