We came here today on a 40 degrees day and the pools were packed ! Lucky we came here early at 8am - there wasn’t a lot of people. By 10am it’s packed. The water splash park doesn’t open until 10am - which was a let down for young kids who need to nap. Would love the splash park to open when the swimming pools are open. Very friendly family pool area which was heated (very warm). The facilities were good. Would be good to see more eateries open earlier. The swimming shop was a rip off - make sure you bring all your gear.

Decent kids water play park, with water slide tunnel current ride. Can get crowded during school hollidays. Seating area is very limited so you are either in the water or take your stuff outside area if you want to take a break. Kids swimming pool is big. But it did get murky the day we were there with hair strands and particles in the water.
Check before you go for the day if the kids waterpark area is open and/or if there are any planned closure times. When we went were there it was closed till nearly 11:30am.
There is parking, you get a 3 hr allowance when you buy a day pass for the water park.

I recently visited the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre and had a great experience. I went swimming and tried almost everything — the splash areas, water slides and it was all really fun and well organized.
The facilities are clean and well maintained, and I also enjoyed using the sauna and steam room, which were very relaxing after swimming. It’s a great place for both fun and relaxation, whether you’re visiting with family or on your own.
I would definitely recommend this place and will be coming back again.

Not from Sydney but this pool felt like a hidden gem to me- I had a quick google of the best pools in the area and I am so glad I went with this one!! The rapids were so much fun.
I would have enjoyed a deeper casual swim pool though, the deepest bit to tread was only 1.5m
