Manuka Pool

Excellent pool and facilities for the children. Old fashioned cafe. The lawns are a wonderful feature, allowing space for kids to run around.

It is a good little pool. Staff is friendly. My thing with Canberra's Pools is that there are no paved areas to sunbathe with a stretcher chairs (even if they are concrete ones). I am allergic to grass, so to lay down to sunbathe at the grass is not an option for me. Because of that, it is never a relaxing experience. I wish some of the pools had such an area...

Beautiful art deco building. Clean and well maintained outdoor 30 metre pool (4-8 foot in depth). Nice period changing rooms. Gardens with a children's shallow playing pool.

I visited the Manuka pool for the first time and I absolutely loved it! The cost was $8 and $2 for lockers that is super cheep. The facility is old but it is clean and definitely there is character to it. Also make sure you take your shampoo and body wash as it is not provided. Swimming in the open while you have the sky above has a specially unique feel to it. The pool will be shot from 21 March due to cold Canberra weather but I will be definitely back next year when they open again!
