Add Mirboo North Pool to your summer list

AFTER undergoing a major revamp, the Mirboo North Outdoor Pool has made a huge ‘splash’ with locals.

The $5.73M project, completed in late 2021, included remedial work to the main pool and learn to swim pool, as well as the construction of new wet deck gutters, pool lining and disabled access. 

The existing toddler’s pool was replaced by a new splash pad with an assortment of water play features. 

A new pavilion with community program room, kiosk, change rooms and family rooms were also constructed. 

The opening season commenced from November 26, 2022 and finalises March 13, 2023.

The facility also features a nine lane 25 metre pool, a completely shaded splash park, and electric barbecues for all to enjoy. 

The Sentinel-Times made a quick trip to the pool amid the gorgeous summer weather last week, chatting to duty manager Jess. 

Jess is a Mirboo North local and has worked at the pool for the past two seasons while also working at the Leongatha Indoor Pool.

“There’s busy days and cruisy days, it’s a lovely pool,” she said.

“It’s been bit of a slow start but now that it’s warming up it has been getting busier.

“People seem to be really enjoying the new facilities and it’s great to work at.”

Jess noted they were averaging around 100 visitors per day while the weather is hot…

She highlighted there’s also plenty of programs run at the pool including group fitness classes. 

Friends of the Mirboo North Swimming Pool will also be proudly presenting the Mirboo North Idol and Movie Night on Saturday, February 4, 2023.

The event will feature live music and a huge pool inflatable.
