Town Pool at Our Front Door

Castlemaine's public 50-metre outdoor pool is next to BIG4 Castlemaine’s entrance!

Set in lovely gardens with plenty of shade trees, it is usually open during the summer months, from early December to mid-March.  There is also a toddlers’ pool, change rooms and a kiosk.

There are other picturesque and well-maintained public swimming pools at Chewton, Harcourt, Newstead and Maldon.
