Best public pools for families

31 July, 2022 by Expat Living 4 Min Read

https://expatliving.hk/public-swimming-pools-hong-kong-families/

When the mercury rises in Hong Kong, you really need to hit the water to cool off. There are 44 public swimming pools across the city, many with facilities such as kiddie pools and water slides to make a visit a fun family day out. And even better, it’s cheap as chips, too. Adult admission is HK$17 during the week and HK$19 at weekends (and public holidays), concession rates are HK$8 during the week and HK$9 at the weekend (and public holidays) and children under three are free! Here are some of our fave public swimming pools.

Tips before you head out

Check opening times

Due to coronavirus restrictions in Hong Kong, some facilities remain closed and opening hours may vary. Public swimming pools are also closed for cleaning on different days of the week and periodically for annual maintenance and repairs. Check the individual schedules on the Leisure and Cultural Services Department site before you head out.

Take some change

Some pools have lockers where you can store your belongings. You’ll need a coin to use these – normally $5 but take a $10 just in case. That coin is refundable; it will simply drop out of a slot on the inside of the locker when you’re done. So, technically the lockers are free but you need a coin to use them.

Kennedy Town Swimming Pool

K-Town locals with young kids make a bee-line for their state-of-the-art, heated public swimming pool, as it caters brilliantly for young families. It has great swimming areas for the kids, a family changing room and even a jacuzzi! Architecture buffs will appreciate the sleek, futuristic design of the complex, with part of the roof designed so that swimmers have views over the water.

2 Sai Cheung Street North, Kennedy Town

Morrison Hill Pool

This swimming pool is tucked away in a little pocket between Happy Valley, Causeway Bay and Wan Chai and is a good option for a quieter swim as it doesn’t have the bells and whistles of some of the other public facilities. There is an indoor and outdoor pool, with a toddlers’ pool outside. It has a snack bar and lounge chairs.

7 Oi Kwan Road, Wan Chai

Victoria Park Swimming Pool

Victoria Park is a much-loved recreational hub for Hongkongers, and its swimming pool is designed to cater for the throngs of families which flock to the park. The complex has five pools, including a deep-water diving pool, a shallow children’s pool and a paddling pool. There’s also a good-sized area with sun loungers to relax and a family changing room.

1 Hing Fat Street, Causeway Bay

Pao Yue Kong Swimming Pool

As Wong Chuk Hang becomes increasingly popular, more and more people are cottoning on to this public swimming pool complex, which is absolutely huge! There are two main pools, two teaching pools, a training pool, a diving pool, a toddler pool and another pool ideal for older kids. The kids’ pools have a variety of slides and other water play features. It also has sun loungers and a family changing room.

When the little ones tire of looking at the flamingos and exploring the various play areas in the park, take them for a swim in the park’s swimming pool complex. Spread across two levels, there are three outdoor leisure pools of irregular shapes linked together by waterfalls, a footbridge, one circular paddling pool and a sun bathing area. There is also a sun lounger area and four indoor heated pools.

Hammer Hill Road Swimming Pool

This is one of the more legendary of the city’s public swimming pools as the indoor pool area has a pirate ship with water cannons on it! The outdoor facilities are equally as appealing to kids, with a sprawling selection of spaces including a toddler pool, a number of water slides and a fountain.

30 Lung Cheung Road, Wong Tai Sin, Kowloon

Jordan Valley Swimming Pool
