Locals are taking full advantage of the upgraded facility, flocking to the cool of the pools as the heat wave holds over the holiday period.

The new wet play area has been a hit with kids and parents alike, with the bucket particularly popular as it catches swimmers unawares with a deluge of water from above.

There are some familiar faces at the kiosk, with Kinfolk Student Cafes the successful tenderer. Lollies, potato scallops and hot chips are just some of the favourites being served up.

The pool opening hours are Monday to Friday from 5.30am-8pm, Saturday 5.30am-7pm and Sunday from 9am-7pm.
