  • AboutBrisbane Kids Creative was created by me! Ngaire Stirling. I wont pretend to talk in the third person about myself, instead let me tell you a bit about me and how 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came about. At the time the domain name 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for purchase I was a stay at home mum in the middle of a degree centred around journalism and PR. a couple of years earlier I had been contemplating returning to my previous career in marketing management and for a while I even tried. 3 months into a new role and it was clear that I had no passion for my old life and to make the decision to quit easier, my almost 2 year old at the time was not coping with childcare. So, as a family we made the decision for me to return to becoming a stay at home mum. About 1 years later or so.. 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for sale. My friends had often commented on my ability to know exactly what was happening in Brisbane for kids. I had my son enrolled in some awesome activities and we often visited some great destinations. I loved finding fun things for us to doโ€ฆ

Manly Pool | Manly

Last updated: February 7, 2024
Outdoor eight lane pool with partial shade sails at Manly Pool.

Located just 30 minutes from the Brisbane CBD, Manly Pool features a 25m pool, with eight lanes and crystal clear water. Heated year round, to a target temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, youโ€™ll enjoy the facilities at Manly Pool with your Brisbane Kids no matter what their age.

The safe and secure fenced kids splash pool is great for toddlers and infants, while the waterslide is a big hit with the older kids (as well as adults!) The head coach runs a range of fitness programs for all levels of fitness and abilities.

What We Thought of Manly Pool 

Large blue waterslide at Manly Pool.

We loved playing in the kids splash pool. It has a maximum depth of 4cm, therefore perfect for even the smallest tots. The splash pool is unshaded but there are plans for this to change in the future.

The slide is a lot of fun for bigger kids, though children 5 years and under need to be accompanied by an adult. We played in the 25m pool for the majority of our time as it is partially shaded by sails. The pools are mostly in full sun so ensure you follow usual sun safety. 

Nearby Family-friendly Destinations

If you are looking to extend your time in the area consider visiting Lota Park, a fully fenced, beach-inspired playground or the compact Bayside Park which sits close to the Manly Boat Harbour. 

Nearby Wynnum Manly Community Garden is a wonderful place to help your child find their green thumb.

Manly Pool is located at 1 Fairlead Crescent, Manly.
