Northern Beaches Leisure Centre – Townsville

More than the average pool. 4 pools for different levels. Some heated other not. Shaded pools and water slides.

Great venue. clean and fresh facilities. Staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Great undercover swim areas for young kids

Don't bother going in the afternoon, they over-book the pool which is only 2/3 utilised and tell you can't swim at all. If you ask the staff when a good day is, they will tell you Tuesdays and Thursdays, and maybe Fridays, but definitely call first, unless it's one of those days. I asked in person, as I was already there and was told 'tomorrow will be fine' - Only to find that on the day, no, you can't swim due to PLANNED works, complete with a printed, laminated sign that the pool was closed. They could have mentioned that the day before, when I asked, but, to be fair, I wasn't clear when I asked if if the pool was open, and available tomorrow. I don't say this lightly, it's the worst run public pool I have seen, in 78 countries, and 41 years. I would give it less than 1 star, if I could. In summary: Great facilities (you can't use them, don't even ask) Friendly staff (will tell you whatever you want to hear, true or not) Ridiculous pricing ( Apparently families are 1 adult and 2 kids, if you have 2 adults, and 1 kid - you know, the bare minimum to actually procreate, you are 1 family plus and adult.)

Omg what a public pool, this is next generation public pool, it had so much to offer for the whole family, it has a gated toddler pool, open toddler bigger kids pool, covered pool great for kids and learn to swing then 2 x big water slides the kids loved, then the large pool, so much fun going between pools, the staff are fantastic and always watching the kids. Will be back very soon.

Great place to take the Grandkids..
