The pool area includes a free water park which is open 9:00 am – 7:30 pm throughout the week, and a free wading pool area that will open at the beginning of July.

The pool is 30 metres long and is perfect for laps and water play. A special feature installed in 2011 is the solar heating system with 16 solar panels and a high efficiency thermal cover to keep the water warm. The thermal cover results in less chlorine being used, as there is less evaporation.
