Colmslie Aquatic Centre water play small slide.

The Colmslie Aquatic Centre has a 50 metre outdoor heated pool, an 18.5 metre indoor pool and a great outdoor water play park (with a maximum depth of 0.3 metres) for your Brisbane Kids. The children’s water play area is closed during winter, but during summer this is an aquatic adventure-land. With a convenient shaded area surrounded by trees for mum and dad to watch on, it is a perfect spot to let your Brisbane kids run around and cool off.

There are a couple of covered picnic tables, a block wall and big plastic outdoor chairs scattered around.

What We Thought of Colmslie Aquatic Centre

We loved splashing around in the kids’ play area for a good couple of hours. The slides are great and unexpectedly fast, which is super fun! There are two big shade sails over the water play area which keeps it quite protected from the sun, but ensure you still follow the usual sun safety guidelines.

Keep Watch Pool Safety program at Brisbane City Council pools

Brisbane City Council public pools are part of the Keep Watch pool safety program established by the Royal Life Saving Society of Australia. This program aims to prevent childhood drownings by setting out these guidelines –

0-5 year olds & non-swimmers – Parent or guardian within arms’ reach and present in the water at all times.
6-10 year olds – Parent or guardian showing constant active supervision and prepared to get wet and enter the water when necessary.
11-14 year olds – Parent or guardian present to regularly and physically check on the child.

By enforcing these guidelines, Brisbane City Council hopes to prevent all drowning incidents at council pools.
