Emerald Shire Council Olympic Swimming Pool

Excellent place to spend a day with family or friends to escape the heat. The beautifully kept lawn is great for relaxing on when outside of the pool. There are also 4 barbecue hotplates available for the public.

The staff behind the counter are so friendly but the older man is just so rude, puts you off going to the pool.

I hate public pools, always too noisy and too busy, but that's not this place's fault. What is their fault is that when I do get reluctantly brought along here by my friends there is never any hot food available despite all relevant signage indicating there is. The water slides are also currently broken because they literally cannot afford to maintain them. In dire need of more council funding in my opinion. Added an extra star because the milkshakes at the canteen are to die for. All in all, mixed feelings about this place so 2/5 stars.

Open September to March, Emerald has the kind of public outdoor pool complex that would be the envy of most towns.

The Emerald Aquatic Centre is packed with facilities, including a 50m international standard pool, a 25m heated pool, a shaded splashpad for little ones and a slide complex with three superb waterslides of varying speeds.

The entire centre was overhauled in the 2010s and, complete with shaded grassy space for picnics, presents a first-rate day out for families.

Not open for month's. Can't believe they spent so much money on a heated pool that's closed for winter and todays top is 26 dgrees.

Excellent place to spend a few hours with the family to escape the heat. Beautifully kept premises with a luscious lawn (awesome change from dead grass everywhere). The one "downside" is I can't remember the last time I saw the spa filled with water.

Service is great. So much to do for any age person. Well priced and we'll looked after facility.

Had a lovely experience here with the kids, lots to do, except the reception man could learn some manners:)

Great pool. Great facilities and a wonderful team of staff to help out. Swimming instrutors are great with the kids and wonderful over all.

Absolutely could not recommend this place more highly. On our trip up to Townsville, we stopped here to spend 4 very enjoyable hours here having such a fantastic enjoyable time. I even believe it is much better than the Strand Water park in Townsville. Can't wait to return again here soon.

All new water park, 8 lane Olympic pool, heated pool, under cover pool and kids pool plus water slide.

Great kids pool and water area, pool is clean and cool. Shaded pools and shadecloth over main pool. Great for a morning or afternoon out.
