Leichhardt Park Aquatic Centre: Opinions

5/5 (53 Opinions)
Danielle Lonnon 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have been swimming at this pool for over 35 years. I am happy to say that it's one of my favourite pools in Sydney. Beside the pool, there is a great gym and a good coffee shop that serves good coffee and food - which is needed especially after a long swim. There is also a small shop to buy swimming gear from. After a swim I like to sit on the hill and overlook the lovely vistas of the Iron Cove. Just a shame that going to the pool has become so expensive.

Linda Yaling 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great swim programs for the kids and a nice cafe to relax in while you wait.

Craig KiwiCraig 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: A really nice outdoor pool, with a few indoor pools also. It's fairly quiet so you will get lots of space for yourself, especially if you are doing laps. Overall the whole complex is a little dated but it's still nice being outdoors, and the staff were really friendly which is why I still gave it 5 stars. Actually that said the gym equipment is quite new and there is an impressive selection of weight machines, so if you are also going to the gym this one is especially good. There were diving boards but it is closed for repair, probably not anytime soon.

Peter Chroma 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: A number of facilities are provided by the Inner West Council. The main centre, Leichhardt Park Aquatic Centre has a six swimming areas catering to needs of both adults and children as well as a range of fitness classes. There is also a child minding centre and a café. Open 7 days a week. What's not to like

John McNeil 2 years ago

Positive experience: Swim or learn to swim. Extensive, friendly, competent, empathetic staff. Great lessons for kids of all ages. As a supervising grandparent, the air in the indoor pool is crazy hot and humid. But the kiddos can swim, so I shouldn't complain

Penny A 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Staff are doing their absolute best during these Covid times. Yes I would love to swim for longer and in the 50m pool but I'm happy to be able to get into the water at all. Evrything gets sanitized before the new group comes in. Thank you

Andrew Nisbet 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great pool with a leafy out look to the water. Outdoor pool is a nice feature but they also have 2 indoor pools. Outdoor showers would be a nice addition for a quick rinse before or after a swim. Nice cafe makes for a pleasant snack and swim.

Jennifer Kent 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The creche at this place is amazing - the staff are more qualified, caring and professional than most I have met in long day care facilities and I love leaving my baby with them knowing that he is safe and happy.

Winston Yan 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Superb swimming pool by the sea. Has many pools. The warm pool is perfect for toddlers. One lane of the warm pool is dedicated for rehabilitation use.

William Bond 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Always loads of space to swim, and good hours. Lockers available, good change rooms. Some of the shower nozzles have been broken for a while without being fixed, though there are so many working ones, this doesn't affect much.

DJ Shaw 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: The pool is looking much better these days. Plenty of lockers in the change rooms, nice little Cafe a d still the great view overlooking the bay.

Eric Chiu 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: With friendly staff and clean locker rooms, this facility is refreshingly well maintained. The pool is not salt water, so it can be a bit harsh on the skin. The price is a bit steep... worth the price. I'm not a local, but I will certainly be back!

joe hogan 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best place ever. Very Clean. Water is great. Couldnt ask for much more And great price for a swim

Sarah 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Pool is always clean and a good temperature. They have a double lap lane so slower swimmers don’t feel intimidated, plenty of room for people to go around you. The indoor program pool is also lovely and warm if you just want a dip to stay out of the sun. Change rooms are generally clean (though the floor a bit slippery) and the showers have lovely hot water. The lifeguards are attentive and will keep an eye on lane etiquette and kick kids out of the lap lanes if they need to. The cafe does a good milkshake too! Only downside is parking can be a challenge, particularly if swimming lessons are on. Don’t even bother it something is on at Leichhardt oval.

Jade 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: A little more expensive than I was expecting, but really great pool, very clean, and a great grass area right next to it where you can dry off and laze around in the sun

Peter Crowe 5 years ago

William Connors 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent complex with plenty of activities. Swim coaches are great with the kids. Food is delicious and priced well at the shop.

Tina Chen 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very nice aquatic centre, the different pools offer a selection of indoor and outdoor pools. Late closing time, which is good for an afternoon/evening swim.

Mark Calabretta 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: The outdoor 50m Olympic pool is heated year-round and ideal for lap swimming. The newly refurbished indoor 25m pool is mainly for kids and hydrotherapy, and is not really suitable for lap swimmers. The diving pool (check opening times) has a 10m tower and 3m springboard, but most often used for swimming school and water polo training. There is also a splash pool for little kids. Extensive gym facilities, which I don't use, and newly refurbished amenities blocks. Has a pleasant outlook at the head of Iron Cove, but can be breezy at times. Plenty of free parking, and also serviced by the free Leichhardt Community Bus.

JanSki_ Ski 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is the best swimming baths, for all, that I have ever seen. You and your children can take lessons. But there is also excelent keep fit. A cafe and pool view seating. A play area. Inside and outside pools.

Syd 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Clean and modern gym facilities with beautiful glass windows which help bring the outside in. A number of pools which are popular with the kids. Some great trainers too - in particular Val and Rosetta.

Sandra Nikolic 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place is incredible! The recent refurbishment/facelift means everything is as modern, clean & beautiful as possible. There are 5 (!!!) pools, a few PT consultation rooms & 3 large spaces where their huge variety of classes are held; also a cafe bursting with healthy snacks, meals, juices etc & 2 balcony sections to sit in & enjoy views of the harbour while chowing down or catching up. There are spaces & classes specifically aimed at kids, the elderly & people undergoing physical rehab; this is easily the best gym/aquatic centre I've been to in Sydney so far. Their membership options & fees are fantastic too... something for everyone. Enjoy your visit!

Richard Leach 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility. I go there 2 to 4 times a week. Good workout facilities. Good staff. Good, easy car parking. Good location with views. Community oriented place run by the local council. So there isnt that edgy , commercial push underlying the enjoyment of the place. Gym, outdoor pool, rehab programs, and cafe. Subsidy for pensioners, however not a cheap place. It doesnt compete on price.

gretchen gamble 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff-helpful pleasant and competent Best learn to swim prog and squad training sessions-all pools are heated so all round swimming etc Caters for all ages and abilities Good gym with excellent classes for individuals and groups-again all ages and abilities catered for-spin classes, aquarobics(fantastic) Excellent cafe,great view over the bay---and a creche

J Davis 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Some of the best coffee and hot chips in the inner west. Recently refurbished facilities offer hot showers and good sized lockers. Can get very busy in peak times and some lanes will be blocked for squad training sessions which can make lap lanes crowded. Gets busy in summer with locals cooling off. The water can be a bit like soup on a hot day when ti is full of people. Outside of peak times it is a glorious spot to swim laps, grab a bite to eat with stunning views across iron Cove and the Bay Run. Hav etaken kids here for 20 years for learn to swim classes, birthday parties and for a swim in the various pools. Good gym onsite too. Parking can get full so you might need to walk to the pool from the far reaches of the car park.

Ben Liquete 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: LPAC has a great main pool, it is heated and outdoors. There are also 2 program pools used for learning to swim. I take the kids to swimming lessons and do a few laps whilst they are in class. Yes, booking the time you want can be a hassle, but once your established it's good. Program pool 1 is great and was recently reopened (early 2017) having been refurbished and a permanent roof, kid and family friendly shower / change area / toilets have been added. All that you want from a pool and a kids swim program and plenty of space to get in with the kids before / after a lesson to reinforce the love of swimming.

M. Atmaca 6 years ago
