After 5 years and $122m later, North Sydney Olympic Pool has finally reopened. Before it reopened we got to go inside for look.
The facilities are great and you can see how it ended up costing so much.
North Sydney Olympic Pool is an iconic swimming and recreation facility located beside Sydney Harbour, offering spectacular views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and surrounding waterfront. Situated at Milsons Point, the pool has long been an important part of Sydney’s sporting and community life. The facility provides opportunities for swimming, fitness, training and leisure, attracting both local residents and visitors. Its location makes it particularly appealing for people wanting to combine exercise with Sydney’s famous harbour scenery.
The surrounding area offers easy access to attractions including Luna Park, Kirribilli and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, while the nearby ferry and public transport connections make the pool convenient to reach. The pool has undergone significant redevelopment to modernise its facilities while retaining its distinctive harbour-side character. For visitors, North Sydney Olympic Pool provides a unique opportunity to enjoy swimming and recreation in an iconic Sydney setting, combining sport, fitness and relaxation with memorable views of one of the world’s most recognisable harbours.
