The state’s best seasonal outdoor pool scheduled to open for summer

The warm weather is upon us, and things are heating up in Frankston North with the PINES Forest Aquatic Centre opening for the 2023/2024 summer season on Wednesday 1 November.  

Pines outdoor pool is a much-loved feature of the Frankston North community overs summer, who have been waiting eagerly to get back in the water while the facility has been closed.  

Pines Forest Aquatic Centre was recently awarded Facility of the Year (Seasonal) at the Aquatics and Recreation Victoria (ARV) Awards. These awards recognise outstanding commitment to the Aquatics and Recreation sector, and celebrate Pines’s leading aquatic spaces, and importantly, their welcoming community.  

Peninsula Leisure CEO Kath Thom said staff have been working hard over the winter months to prepare the pools for a busy summer. 

“All the pools are looking great for another big outdoor pool season,” Ms Thom said.
