Swimming can not only provide excellent physical exercise, but can also boost your mood and release endorphins into your brain – the perfect combination! So if you’re in Hong Kong this summer and searching for some outdoor fun, make sure you visit one of HK Pools as these pools provide the ideal way to cool off and unwind while taking in its stunning sights!
Public pools offer an ideal way to spend your free time. Not only is the water refreshing and beneficial for keeping you fit and in good health, but there’s nothing beats enjoying its scenic beauty with friends or family at a very reasonable cost!
Victoria Park Swimming Pool in Edmonton was one of the first public pool complexes in Canada, opening in 1957 with a 50x20m main pool and seating for 1,700 spectators at its spectator stand. Since then, several older pools have been replaced by modern facilities.
Apart from offering stunning views of Castle Peak Bay marina, this pool provides many activities for both you and your children to enjoy. The kid’s water park includes slides, buckets, sprayers and floor fountains; plus there’s even a poolside cafe!
Location is another outstanding feature of this pool, offering magnificent views of both Tsing Yi Island and South China Sea. Not only is its main pool spacious; there are also diving, teaching, leisure and toddler pools to choose from as part of this complex that also houses a family changing room.
Tsing Yi Swimming Pool offers some of the longest and highest water slides in all of Singapore, making them incredibly popular on weekdays and weekends alike. Furthermore, its set of seven government-owned pools – as well as diving and leisure pools with water slides – makes this spot particularly inviting.
Hong Kong public swimming pools are open year-round; however, some may close on certain days for maintenance and repairs, so be sure to check their schedules prior to heading out. Daily admission costs HK$17 while weekend entry can cost HK$19 or you can purchase a monthly ticket for half price (half for students under 13 and seniors). Most outdoor facilities open between April 1 and October while indoor facilities offer year-round swimming experiences.
