80th birthday



The official opening of Blackheath Pool took place – eighty years ago - during the 1931 Christmas holidays.  Over ensuing years many, many thousands of happy swimmers have enjoyed this special place. In 1935 The Katoomba Daily declared it “...the finest park and swimming pool on the mountains” [quoted p.155 Blackheath Today from Yesterday (2005)]. Detailed historical information is available at http://ow.ly/7dvms

Today Blackheath Pool is one of the most beautifully situated public swimming baths in Australia – set amongst sweeping lawns and the now mature rhododendrons, at over 1000 metres above sea level – providing swimming with altitude.

Pool to open 9:30AM to 6:30PM every day!

We're very pleased to announce that Council voted this evening for Blackheath Pool to be open for a block of nine hours each & every day of the 2011-12 season.  Hours will be 9:30AM to 6:30PM every day.  


FoBP&MP campaigned across the off-season to achieve this outcome.  We thank Mayor Daniel Myles for bringing the matter to tonight's meeting as a matter of urgency, and Cr Terri Hamilton for her support.  BM Leisure Centres management & staff will now be able to proceed with planning the upcoming season, which commences on Saturday 26 November.
