Dive into summer fun

As the warm days of December approach, we’re thrilled to announce that the Lilydale Outdoor Pool will open its gates early this season to celebrate the vibrant Lilydale Melba Festival and Street Fair on Sunday 8 December! From 9am to 3pm, the community is invited to enjoy free entry to the pool, where everyone can make a splash and have fun together. Whether you want to take a leisurely swim, enjoy the exhilarating inflatable, or partake in exciting land games for children—generously donated by the Lilydale Township Action Group—there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

This early opening marks the beginning of what promises to be the best summer yet at the Lilydale Outdoor Pool. Officially launching its 2024/2025 season on Saturday 14 December, the pool will serve as the summer hub for our community. With programs, including the beloved Aqua Classes, VIC Swim Intensive Week, and the heart-pumping Heart Foundation walks, there’s no shortage of activities to keep you engaged and active. Don’t miss out on our special events days like Carols In The Park Pool Party, Wave of Colour Pride, New Year’s Eve celebrations, and the season’s most popular event Doggy Day!

For those looking to make a splash this season, early bird prices for season passes will be available for purchase during the Lilydale Melba Festival and Street Fair, ensuring everyone can join in the fun. The pool will be open from 14 December to 3 February, operating daily from 1pm to 6pm. Then shifting, to weekday hours of 3pm to 6pm and weekends from 1pm to 6pm until 10 March.

Come together as a community to create lasting memories this summer. Stay connected and updated on opening hours via the Lilydale Outdoor Pool Facebook page facebook.com/lilydaleoutdoorpool/ or the Lilydale Outdoor Pool website lilydalepool.com.au
