    swimmers relaxing in one of the pools at kowloon park swimming pool

    In the sultry heat of Hong Kong, all one wants is to jump into cool water, enjoying slow lazy laps.  We are lucky that we have a number of natural pools and waterfalls, and several building complexes and clubs have their own pools. But if you don’t have access to these, don’t worry! There are over 20 public swimming pools scattered across Hong Kong, that you can visit for a very affordable price.

    On weekdays, rates are HK$17, and on weekends, they are HK$19, unless you are eligible for the concessionary or free rate (aged above 60, below 13, students and individuals with disabilities). Most outdoor pools operate from 15th April until the end of October, and indoor pools close for maintenance for approximately three weeks during the year. So what are you waiting for? Grab your swimsuit, towel and sunscreen and head on over to your nearest neighbourhood pool.

    Kowloon Park Swimming Pool

    One of the most kid (and adult!) friendly public swimming pools is this large leisure facility in Kowloon Park. With three outdoor leisure pools and a toddler pool, all interconnected with footbridges, rocks and waterfalls, there are tons of places to explore for a summer day out! You can also head out for a picnic, visiting the resident flamingos and turtles of the park situated between Jordan and Tsim Sha Tsui stations. And in winter, you are also covered. With another indoor pool with a diving platform, there are a grand total of FOUR pools to help you keep up your laps and diving skills in the off-season. 

    Opening hours: 6:30am to 10pm, with breaks from 12-1pm and 5-6pm. Closed for cleaning on Tuesdays.
