Dickson Pool

Outdoor swimming pool

😠 The five lap swimmers were given half the pool and the 50+ others were left to share the other half of the pool. Expect to pay to get in, even if it’s just to supervise the kids. Way too many unhealthy food choices at the shop and not enough good ones. Used to enjoy the pool but not anymore. People often mention pool, kids, great,

    Management booked cleaning of the female toilets around 11am on a 33C day. There was one disabled toilet available for 30+ women and many mums with kids. The cleaners told me their job would take about an hour, and also that they'd come to do the job yesterday but were turned away because there was aschool carnival on. One would think that would be foreseeable when planning. As well as lap availability, do we need to check toilet availability before visiting? The pool was good, the grounds are lovely, and the staff were doing the best they could, but, really, it's not a great start for the new management.

    A great place to go to, especially with the younger children. Lots of different size pools for every swim level and even a water play area.

    Love this place.!! One of the best pool for summer for parties as well. Family friendly environment. Such a great idea how they designed all areas. From little kids to old kids, adults, perfect for everyone. Highly recommended.

    Spend a day with my family, but I loved this place. Usually, I go to the Manuka pool, but this place is even bigger and has desperate pools for different ages. Trees provide a good shade for families to enjoy their picnic towels. All staff is very helpful and I am so glad that we can purchase food and coffee here for a reasonable price. My children enjoyed the pool and playing around at different spots for kids. I would highly recommend this place for families or even families without children can visit and spend a day here.

    This is a great place to take young kids. There are several pools of various depths for different ages. There is also a cafe with ice cream and hot chips.

    A beautiful shady park with pools! So awesome. I just wish it was open all year.

    Best pool in CBR on a hot summers day. Plenty of grass and shade from large trees. Water is a refreshing temperature.

    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.

    Having 4 different pools is handy for kids of all ages and swimming skills. The trees are huge and provide great shaded areas. There is BBQ's too. $21.50 for a family pass. Apparently no hot anymore, sadly!

    This used to be a great pool with lush green grass to sit on. It is sadly turning into a dust bowl. The staff were efficient & cheerful... but I will be looking for other options now on hot Canberra days.

    Great outdoor pool but bring your own food - very limited options now (just ice creams and a hot food warmer that was already empty by lunchtime.) They still do coffee.

  • 5/5 Sherree H. 6 months ago on Google
