lilydale outdoor pool, lilydale
/This is the Lilydale Outdoor Pool. It is a pretty quiet little treasure placed besides Melba Park and the Lilydale Showgrounds. There are three sections - the main lap pool (it’s pretty chilly in here which makes it perfect for those stinky summer days), a shallower kids corner and then the perfect toddler pool. The two junior pools are connected and are heated.
The shape of the baby pool is perfect for supervising bigger paddlers. The pool is partly shaded but probably gets good coverage later in the day with some great big oak trees on the western boundary. Those oaks also make a great mess on the ground so I would keep my eye out for a good spot on the park side of the pool or between the change rooms (currently in the boxing gym next door).
The pool is only open for the Summer season and it has to be over 23 degrees for them to open the gates. There is a kiosk for an after swim treat too!
Mamma's special mention: If you are looking for a little water play on those warmer mornings without heading into the pool - Melba Park has a great little water play section to splash in.
