Maccallum Pool

Closure Notice: Due to construction work on the path, Cremorne Pt Reserve will be closed on the pool side (from Milson Rd to Bogota Ave) from 9/11/09 to 13/11/2009 which means the pool will be unavailable for use in that period. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Maccallum Pool, on the western side of Cremorne Point, is a unique harbourside pool with heritage character and superb views. Its waterside timber deck is an unparalleled sun bathing spot - especially on winter afternoons.

It was originally just a rock pool created by local residents to form a safe harbour swimming hole.

The architectural style of the current pool dates back to the 1920s and was restored in keeping with this heritage theme by Council in 1985-86.

Cleaning Timetable - 2009/2010¹

Maccallum Pool needs to be emptied, cleaned, and refilled usually once a week due to its position above the highwater mark. Therefore the pool is closed during cleaning for about 9 hours.

Exact cleaning closure times are above, but please check the pool noticeboard as well.

¹Times and cleaning days may vary according to tides and weather conditions.
