Grab your togs and get ready to make a splash as the community will once again be able to enjoy outdoor pool season across Cardinia Shire.

Emerald Lake Park Wading Pool will open to the public on Friday 2 December, with Pakenham Outdoor Pool opening on Sunday 13 November.

The pools will be opening on any day forecasted on or above 26 degrees throughout November, December, February and March.

All pools will be open every day in January regardless of the temperature.

There will be no changes to the outdoor pool opening hours, however the temperature forecast time will be changed to 4pm (instead of 6pm) the day before.

This will allow more time for the community to view the opening hours, as well as allowing more time to organise lifeguards or additional staff.

Cardinia Leisure will be hosting several fun events throughout January 2023 across the pools, including themed days, pool party days and swim programs.

More details about these events will be released closer to January.
