The children’s pool at the historic Eastern Beach Reserve will be closed between Monday 15 May and Monday 29 May 2023.
The City will undertake maintenance works to drain the well-utilised pool, pressure clean the tiles and replace broken and missing tiles. The sea baths and promenade area will remain open during this time.
These works are necessary to comply with safety and pool regulations.
Signage around the pool will alert parents and carers of the closure.
We’re updating our 2011 Geelong Waterfront Masterplan and asking the community how we can best plan for the Waterfront’s future, including the Eastern Beach Reserve.
Public consultation is open until 11:59pm, Wednesday 31 May 2023.
David Greaves – Acting Director City Services
The works have been timed to avoid peak usage in the busy summer period and recent school holidays.
The children’s pool has been enjoyed by families since 1938 and we want to make sure it continues to be safe, clean and well maintained.
We know that the children’s pool provides a number of health and wellbeing benefits for children and is a drawcard in our region.
We look forward to welcoming eager young swimmers back to the pool when the works are complete.
