My favourite pool. Open air in the expansive grounds of the university. Sometimes eucalyptus leaves float by from the nearby trees. Great in Brisbane's mild winters.

Facility Notes
The 25 metre pool is a recent addition; it opened in June, 2017. It is designated as a formal lap pool and it sits next to the 50m pool.

Love this pool. It has a partial canopy because the sun is strong. Coin-lockers to rent, but no towels. I was encouraged to borrow one from the lost-and-found. No soap, etc. A nice food court is nearby for afterwards.

It's often dirty and, despite a recent painting, the whole place is looking rather old and tatty. About five years ago the lanes were narrowed to fit in an extra lane, so lap swimming can be very crowded.
