Brennan Park Swimming Pool

This is a nice place for swimming and competitions, including alternative for people who cannot swim, a main problem is the lack of privacy and loathsome of the changing rooms, but the other factors including shady areas and seating spots are exceptional.

First visit to Brennan Park Swimming Pool. On a positive note, it has a nice 50m lap pool and clear water.....which is expected. There is supposed to be 4 pools in total, but there's only 3. Someone decided to fill in the dive pool and not update the description. The other two pools are basically tiny shallow pools.....nothing to brag about. There is shade, but without seating under it. There are bench seats, but without shade above them. There's a BBQ area with picnic benches and shade, but unless you're there to eat, then this is a useless place to supervise the pool from. Pool staff were friendly. There's a kiosk. Two change rooms/toilets only .... Labelled "Male" & "Female". That's it. There's no family change room either. The "Male" change room is disgusting. I took my son in after his swim lesson so he could shower and change. The change room was empty, so it was a good opportunity to have a closer look . My son did not want to be there and I completely understand. It is rundown, old, outdated and neglected. There are no individual shower cubicles and nowhere to shower or dress with some privacy. It resembled a football locker room of the 70's There is a shared shower area with three showers and an open change room. The shower area is raw concrete and the ceiling throughout is painted asbestos. How do I know this..... it's labelled asbestos. I've attached some pictures so you can get a feel for the ambience the Brennan Park Swimming Pool have managed to encapsulate. My recommendation, there's far better options in Bendigo.
