Ararat Outdoor Olympic Swimming Pool
The Ararat Olympic Outdoor Pool is located in the lovely Alexandra Gardens.
The Ararat Outdoor Pool is a seasonal outdoor facility. The main pool is 50m in length and varies in depth from 0.9m to 3m with a waterslide at the shallow end. A shaded area includes a toddler pool, mushroom shaped spray, water cannons, little tipping buckets and ground sprays for younger children. Shade is provided on the grassed area of the pool, a kiosk is available for drinks and treats along with the Gardens Lake Cafe.
Review:
The pool was closed for a period and the Andrews Labor Government delivered on its commitment to fund the upgrade of the pool, saving it from the brink of permanent closure.
When we visited, the pool surroundings were still getting updated and should be more attractive when the next summer season starts.
There is a 50m pool which varies in depth from 0.9m to 3m and a concrete water splash pad for younger kids which has a mushroom shaped spray, water cannons, little tipping buckets and ground sprays.
On one side is a big shade shelter (fairly bare of grass underneath) and a bit of grassy area.
