1 / 5Sha Tin Jockey Club Swimming Pool
📍 Sha Tin, New Territories
Outdoor public pool in Sha Tin with a 50m main pool, spacious changing areas, health monitoring equipment at the entrance, and convenient proximity to Sha Tin MTR, library, and sports centre.
Great public pool conveniently located near other public facilities, such as the gym/sports center, library, town hall, and MTR. The place is quite clean for being such a well-used facility, and staff are generally nice. Pool can get crowded, especially if there are classes meeting at the same time (lifeguard training, swim clubs, etc.). Shower and changing rooms are large. Remember to bring a $5 coin to use the locker (you use the coin to activate the lock, and when you're finished you take back the coin). Even through COVID times, I'm grateful this pool has water bottle refill stations - awesome!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children who swim independently, as there is no dedicated toddler or shallow learning pool. Lap-swimming parents get a full 50m outdoor pool in good condition. The surrounding cluster of public facilities makes this a practical anchor for a longer Sha Tin outing, particularly on weekday mornings when classes are not running.

“Swimming area is huge! A lot of places for people to swim, the bathing area is also big, but the shower and changing stalls aren’t big enough.”

“Have visited a few times. Has a standard outdoor 50m pool. Spacious changing area. Facilities are well-maintained. 👍🏼 There are even a weight scale, a height meter, and a blood pressure equipment by the entrance.”

Overview
Sha Tin Jockey Club Swimming Pool clusters with the area's other public facilities — the sports centre, library, and town hall — making it easy to combine with other activities in a single trip. The outdoor 50m main pool is well-maintained and consistently described as clean for its usage volume. Changing areas are spacious, with individual shower stalls that feel tight during peak periods. A weight scale, height meter, and blood pressure monitor are available at the entrance.
