About this place
What to expect
Located in the heart of town, the Gunnedah Memorial Swimming Pool offers the perfect spot to cool off, unwind, or enjoy a family day out. Set among leafy trees and lush lawns, the complex features a 50-metre outdoor pool, a fun water playground for kids, shaded picnic areas, and a kiosk and café — ideal for relaxing on warm summer days. Originally built in the mid-1950s, the pool stands as a proud war memorial, constructed largely through community donations and volunteer labour. The impressive memorial, positioned at the entrance to the pavilion, continues to honour those who served and reflects Gunnedah's strong sense of community spirit. For visitors in the cooler months, the 25-metre heated indoor pool offers year-round swimming in comfort. Whether you're here for laps, leisure, or laughter with the family, the Gunnedah Memorial Swimming Pool provides a welcoming environment for all ages.
