A wonderful place to swim. This pool has a special place in my heart. Great atmosphere, family friendly, it’s a joy to visit. Swimming laps under an open sky surrounded by big beautiful trees and tropical plants feels like a dream. The pool is mostly salt water, with the minimum chlorine required. I can tell a lot of care goes into adjusting the levels and it’s really appreciated. The water feels lovely and soft on my hair and skin, and I don’t get dry and itchy like in other highly chlorinated pools.
Really nice pool friendly polite helpful staff and as a female British Asian solo travelling from the UK, I felt pretty comfortable and at ease the entire time around everyone :) some other pools felt a little unwelcoming! The water was a good temperature and I liked the grass area to lay in the sun afterwards and dry off and chill! Highly recommend if you want to get a few laps in! 🌊
Love this place, love this pool - excellent facilities, maintained expertly, staff that are friendly and knowledgeable, and classes with instructors that are as good as any I've paid fortunes to, if not better. Wanted to NOT praise, as parking can be tricky at peak times, but it's too good. And the clean and well-maintained parklands on both sides are pretty schmick too.
Located across Suncorp Stadium, next to the tennis courts and skate park, Ithaca is a public swimming pool for all: the casual swimmer, the teens looking for a splash, master and competitive swimmer, aquaaerobic fitness, tanning enthusiast, family gatherings, toddlers water initiation and more. You can pay just per visit ($6 and change), or buy a 10 or 20 visits card and save some bucks. Huge dressing rooms with showers and toilets (male and female). They got a nice resting area where you can sit and relax with a warm cup from the coffee shop. Overall, a lovely place to spend your time in.
Super friendly staff, sparkling clean heated pool, not too busy. I went mid week around 3pm during school holidays and it thankfully wasn’t crowded. The facilities are nice with plenty of shaded grass areas as well as tables and chairs for those not swimming. Just outside there is also a skate park, public park, and a playground with a picnic/ electric bbq area. The only downside to the pool was there is no lockers in the women’s changing rooms. Over all I’m very impressed as it’s a lovely pool, I will certainly be back!
