Epping Aquatic and Leisure Centre

Fantastic experience: I had so much fun at this place spending time with my daughter and I bet she also did with her friends

Fantastic experience: Nice olympic pool hidden in the forest. The old fashioned change rooms are going to be updated from 30th April 2024 and the pool will be closed. None the less there are hot showers. Payment for entry is by credit card only. The pools opening hours are very short in the cooler months.

Negative experience: men's bathroom a place that has no maintenance or cleaning, I would not return to the same place

Fantastic experience: See you at 5pm

Fantastic experience: Great swimming centre with a small pool for kids and another one specifically for toddlers. Great shower facilities. Would've been better if the swimming area was covered as it's hard to swim on sunny hot days. But great friendly staff and watch guard is always on duty.

Fantastic experience: First time here after moving nearby. Outdoor 50m pool is clean. Only 6 lanes but wasnt too busy in the evening for lap swimming and checked lane availability before heading there. Plenty of parking but I can see there would be accessibility issues due to steep ramp and stairs for accessing female showers. No lockers but seems safe enough as you can see where your belongings are and there are at least two staff patrolling. Showers and toilets are dated but clean. Will definitely be coming here more often until the redevelopment commences

Negative experience: Great location, great pool & staff. Don't accept cash though which is annoying as hell!

Positive experience: Its a beautiful serene place for the pools, can't wait for the renovations

Positive experience: Great pool. Used to swim there as a kid in the 80s at school. I’d give it 5 stars but bad memories of a bigger kid holding me down and staring into the black abyss that is the pool lights.

Positive experience: Decent place ...

Fantastic experience: chill vibes

Positive experience: No shade in pool

Fantastic experience: Great outdoor pool.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful outdoor pool

Fantastic experience: Close to home and not too busy, but what's happening with the master plan?

Fantastic experience: Nice

Fantastic experience: Simple but fun! A local favourite.

Fantastic experience: Great place for big functions especially swimming carnivals.

Fantastic experience: Forgot this place even existed in Epping! Great place for the afternoon swim

Positive experience: My kids go there for school swimming carnival. It serves its purpose. Not too many entertainment for small kids

Fantastic experience: Super mellow 50m pool where I did some laps! Not really a family scene as the kids pool seemed to be closed for repairs.

Positive experience: A lovely council pool tucked away in the bush. It has an under cover kiddies pool and a 50m.

Fantastic experience: Great local pool - my kids have been coming here for their swimming carnivals for years, and they love the little tuckshop they have there ☺️

Positive experience: Good local pool with friendly staff. Baby pool could be a little bit better maintained and cleaned.

Negative experience: good pool but there is always wee in the kids pool and the big pool has way to much chlorine and it hurt my eyes. Parking is always packed

Fantastic experience: A great place to swim, the location is quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The staff are extra friendly! Thanks Shelley for your advice. Will be back again.

Fantastic experience: A very old pool nestled in bushland. It's great to be surrounded by the bush whilst swimming. Getting back to nature, with a nesting sparrow hawk close over head. Just a heads up: Not family friendly no lift or ramps here, but wouldn't change it. Happy to struggle with the kids and pram to enjoy this beautiful place. Thanks

Negative experience: Great pool. Pity the girl behind the counter today has such a poor attitude. I hope you offer some onboarding training to these kids so they know how to deal with the public in a polite and pleasant manner. This review is for her.

Fantastic experience: incredible spot, a stunning piece of public amenity - gorgeous native vegetation surrounds, a lovely sized and extremely clean pool. Entirely inaccessible however it is not too busy + parking is plentiful - a gem of the (semi) west

Fantastic experience: Went on a Saturday arvo. Plenty of parking and not at all crowded - got a lane to myself. At the moment, only the 50m pool is open, so it’s great if you are here to swim laps. Entry for an adult is $7.15. Change and toilet facilities on the old side but perfectly adequate.

Fantastic experience: Went for a swim here today. This a lovely place in a beautiful area. Signed up for twenty visits

Fantastic experience: Great infrastructure and service.

Fantastic experience: Free hot chocolate for winter lessons

Positive experience: Situated in a beautiful and tranquil nook of residential area, this is a nice place to relax when your kid is swimming. Parking are at premium and you might have to park a little away on busy days

Fantastic experience: My husband and I go to this aquatic centre for swimming. During winter, they have warm water inside the pool, which is just awesome. The rates for casual visits are also pretty reasonable.

Negative experience: A very dated facility which does not seem to have changed since i went here in the early 1960s for primary school carnivals. Its many stairs make this pool impossible for disabled people, very difficult for families with babies, or people who have less than perfect mobility. I found the staff unfriendly . Go a few miles up to Hornsby pool its far better value!

Fantastic experience: You wouldn't know this glorious pool existed unless you were told. Hidden in Dense Park, this pool is one of the most tranquil i've been too. Gone are the sounds and views of cars and traffic, instead look up and enjoy the giant gum trees and birds flying over head. The fresh water is always clean and the pool area is super clean. Definitely worth a visit if you're a keen swimmer.

Fantastic experience: This pool was built in 1960 and is mostly original except the reception has been revamped. The water quality is great, cant taste the chlorine and 26 is a good temp for lappies. Really nice staff!

Fantastic experience: The guys are awesome. The pool can get a bit cold. Not very convinent for the disabled. You have to walk down a very steep hill after parking your car

Fantastic experience: Not bad

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff, not so crowded,feel relaxed

Fantastic experience: Fantastic location, heaps of parking, such a beautiful clean pool, staff are always kind and polite and love to have a chat.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Very clean pool and facilities.

Fantastic experience: Swim, learn to swim, sunbake, say goodbye to your cares and worry!

Positive experience: Great place, its managed really well. Trainers are really good too. Both kids and adults can learn and enjoy.

Fantastic experience: Great.. hidden gem!

Fantastic experience: It's a secret! Don't tell anyone!

Negative experience: nightmare turned up and they wouldn't take cash and wouldn't let me in DOH since when has cash not been legal tender???

Positive experience: A pretty good and nice local pool. Nice for a warm day

Negative experience: Usually all the staffs are nice but the receptionist today on the phone was so unkind. Still like the pool though.

Positive experience: Good place for swimming for all ages as you can relax in the the cool water in the summers or in the warm water in the winters as well the toilets are clean.

Positive experience: Nice local pool to learn and for leisure swimming.wairing for the upgrading work to commence and hoping it will not be too disruptive.

Negative experience: LACK OF DUTY OF CARE & OHS MEASURES - I have been to this local gem for years, but as the local area becomes more populated, this pool is getting more packed. Unfortunately, the quality of supervision and pool management has also waned. Despite signs advising no bombing, no diving, no running, no ball games, no etc., patrons seem to ignore them and lifesavers simply turn on a blind eye to any offence. At the pool today (14 Jan) , this kid did a massive bomb just shy of hitting me and the lifesaver (within 2m of us) witnessed it all and despite my plead (arm raised in the air), he didn't say a word to the kid and no warning was given whatsoever. So where's the safety control? Being ignorant? As this pool becomes busier, serious accidents are bound to happen unless stringent OHS measures are enforced. As it stands, a 1 star rating is more than the pool supervision deserves.

Negative experience: On a hot day water was 28C; what a joke; I tolerated only two laps in this bath water. It's the hottest olympic pool I've been too in Australia, and friend said the same thing. Expect no refund when you politely ask for one. Yea, and how about get some outdoor shower/s (hot and cold water)!? Some man came & stood right next to me while I was trying to finish in shower, of which they have 2 (two) for men. Does the management imagine that covid is going to magically disappear & never return??

Positive experience: Not the best Picture of the facilities there, but as we are in Covid Times, I understand. An old building with many rooms for groups to hold their meetings.

Fantastic experience: Packed today - 28°C on a Saturday as lockdown restrictions ease - but the staff communicated really well with people in the queue and it moved swiftly. If you are coming for the afternoon session, I would suggest arriving after 3pm and there was a queue when they opened at 2pm.

Fantastic experience: Its been couple of weeks so far for my kid but the quality of education is wonderful!!

Fantastic experience: This is a really nice little pool tucked away in Epping. Surrounded pretty much by a lovely bush backdrop. Just a single 8(?) lane 50m pool and a little training pool. It's outdoors and so you are at the vagaries of the weather, but, c'mon.. This is Orstralya, right? ⛈️⛅ There is undercover tiered seating which faces ESE to keep you protected and this will be in shade in the hot Aussie arvo. Well kept and the water was nice'n'warm on a chilly November day. (Dang those Southerlies! ️) With COVID a lot of the best bits are not accessible: changerooms and the outdoor bits are closed to stop bat-flu spread. Still, go and have a nice swim or do some laps and support a great community resource. We'll knock the stinking COVID over eventually and then live the new normal!

Fantastic experience: Terrific pool, with friendly staff, and water at a good temperature. Great price too. COVID restrictions mean no showers or change room, but it works out ok.

Fantastic experience: Lovely for a morning swim as the sun rises.

Fantastic experience: Great pool that's tucked away in the tranquil bushland of Epping. Older but well maintained facilities and really friendly staff. Clean, inexpensive and a moderate walk from Epping station. Was very quiet when I was there but I'm.told can be very busy in summer months.

Fantastic experience: Good swimming centre. Good facilities. Pool is heated. Doesn't have a roof but that's ok. Staff are always friendly and helpful.

Negative experience: Looks like from the 1980 pools not bad

Positive experience: Very good school with slightly okay-ish teachers.

Positive experience: I like it, It reminds me of Sydney in the 60s. Not crowded. clean, showers could do with an upgrade.

Positive experience: Great fun activities especially during Christmas... Drawback is toddler pool is not warm at all... Adults pool in good size and clean... Friendly staffs...

Positive experience: This outdoor pool is great for the summer. However, the toilets are a bit old, the doors are a bit short and you have to press a separate button for hot water.

Fantastic experience: Epping’s best kept secret. Bush surrounds. Perfect for a kids’ party.

Fantastic experience: the place is old but very clean, the crew are very nice too. I have been swimming there for more than 8 years.

Fantastic experience: Great pool, come here every week. There's an outside lane pool and a small indoor one that's mainly for toddlers and young kids. Theres also another pool but that's also for younger kids. Pool is clean and chlorinated but the showers and change rooms were a bit musty and old (cobwebs and dead insects in change rooms, only two showers have hot water).

Positive experience: Good -Quiet and nice. -Free carpark. -Good school holiday activities. Bad -Small and looked old.
