Heated Swimming Pools Brisbane

Temperatures outside might be cooling down, but things are heating up at many of Brisbane’s heated swimming pools. If you’re looking for a way to keep the kids entertained this winter, don’t overlook your local pool. The only thing to keep in mind is that pool maintenance is often done in winter, so check before you go to make sure there are no closures. Also, kids water play areas and waterslides are usually closed throughout winter. Bathers on? Here’s our complete list of heated swimming pools in Brisbane and surrounding areas.
