★★★★Featured review by Jacob Lee

A very old swimming pools established more than 40 years. unlike other more recent swimming pool, it opens only for 7 months every year as it does hot have indoor heated swimming pool. However, it was a popular swimming pool booked by schools for their swimming Gala in 70's as it has a spectator stand. Following the passage time and the establishment of more equipped swimming pool, its popularity has declined.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for Sham Shui Po families who value a trusted community pool with multiple depth options for children at different swimming stages. The seasonal closure means confirming it is open before travelling. Early-season visits offer the cleanest water conditions; late-afternoon sessions overlap with school swim classes.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Confirm the pool is within its seasonal 7-month operating window before visiting — it has no indoor heated pool
⏰Visit in the morning or early afternoon to avoid the school swim-class congestion that builds in late afternoon
đŸŽŸī¸Early-season visits offer the clearest water — the secondary pool near the hillside accumulates leaves as the season progresses
🚗The spectator seating area is a useful base for parents supervising children across multiple pool areas simultaneously

“It seems the lifeguard pool is shared with Sham Shui Po Park Swimming Pool so that the facilities opened is only a few due to insufficient lifeguards. The secondary pool is a bit dirty due to next to a hill with trees falling leaves. There are many swimming classes at late afternoon which make the pool quite crowded. However it seems the showering area got renovated recently from its traditional pool design which is kinda clean.”
