We hate to boast, but our outdoor pool facility has the biggest water park in Southern Metropolitan Adelaide.

Our aquatic excitement includes a giant tipping bucket, a Balinese party hut, a 70-metre water slide that twists and turns, and a speed slide with a 10-metre drop at speeds of over 30 km/h!

Besides our extensive swim and water activities, the Marion Outdoor Pool facility is also a well sought after venue for birthday parties. We attract hundreds of people to our movie nights, and last summer we accommodated almost 160,000 visitations.

The pool is open to a busy public from late September to April. During this time, we employ a large team of committed, customer oriented seasonal staff who have a safety-first approach to all that we do.
