Ballarat is gearing up for a hot weekend, placing increased demand on the City’s outdoor swimming facilities.
In order to cater for this increased patronage and manage resource challenges, there will be changes to the opening hours of some of our outdoor pools this weekend.
These hours are subject to change. All our pools have reduced capacities due to COVID restrictions in place, so people are encouraged to check the BALC Facebook Page for updates before planning their visit.
- The Eureka Pool and Ballarat Aquatic and Lifestyle Centre will maintain normal operating hours.
- Splash Parks will also operate as normal for families to enjoy and cool down.
The opening hours for City of Ballarat Outdoor Pools are below.

The City, like many Councils has been affected by an industry shortage of lifeguards since COVID, with limited applications for positions.
The current resources have been allocated to enable as many outdoor pools as possible can remain open this weekend with adequate lifeguards to ensure public safety.
