North Sydney Council has announced that North Sydney Olympic Pool will reopen on 7 August, during the pool’s 90th anniversary year.

The project has officially reached Practical Completion. This means the keys to the iconic harbour-side pool have now been handed to council, representing the transition from construction to operational readiness ahead of reopening to the community.

Over the coming months, council teams will be on site completing the final stages of preparation with the aim of delivering the best possible experience for the community when the facility reopens.

The redeveloped facility will feature Sydney’s only 50-metre heated outdoor pool with direct views of the Harbour Bridge and Luna Park, alongside a 25-metre indoor pool, program pool, children’s splash pad and water play area, state-of-the-art gymnasium, reformer Pilates studio, swim school, crèche, spa, sauna, steam room, sundeck, café and gelato bar. The redevelopment also includes extensive heritage restoration works celebrating the Pool’s iconic Art Deco character.

“I want to sincerely thank the community for its patience throughout this project,” Mayor Zoë Baker said.

“This is a facility built not just for today, but for future generations of swimmers, families, visitors and the wider community.”

Ahead of opening day on 7 August, council will offer a series of guided community preview tours, providing the public with an opportunity to experience the transformation of North Sydney Olympic Pool ahead of its reopening.
