Glenfield Pool and Leisure Centre

Glenfield Pool is an awesome place to chill and have fun. The sauna and steam room are super relaxing - just what you need after a long day. For the kids, there's heaps to do: a cool waterslide and even a diving platform they’ll love. The whole place feels friendly and clean, and it's a great spot whether you're coming with the family or just want some quiet time to unwind.

The swimming facility isn't very large, but it has a big pool, a small pool, a hot spring pool, and a sauna. There is a café outside. Parking at the entrance can be tight, but you can park in the mall nearby. One advantage is that adults who are just supervising their children can enter for free. As a result, many swim schools hold their classes here.

It has a good gym facility, just wish I could use the benefits of the pool more with my son toddler, but the main pool is way to cold and toddler pool get at capacity pretty fast.Other leisure centers we've been to the main pools have been a comfortable temperature where you can actually enjoy it and not feel like your swimming outside.Would be nice if they had some activities in the kids pool not just a small rectangle.

Do not recommend if you're wanting to take your baby/toddler. They allow kids/teenagers of any age in the toddler pool and let them do whatever they want. Dive bombs, rough tag etc. Which means there is no room or peace left to actually teach our babies to swim in a safe environment. No toys either and the attitude of the lifeguards is horrible. Highly recommend going to Birkenhead pools instead.

It's quite astonishing to see reviews where parents complain about their kids being told off by lifeguards. It's a public place with set rules for their safety, and your undisciplined child needs to abide by them. A lot of parents don't bother to control their kids, allowing them to leave the fun lane, encroach into the regular swimming lanes, and disrupt the flow of other swimmers.nnI do agree with some other reviews that too many classes are being held, making it difficult for regular adult swimmers to find enough space. However, that's just how it is. The learn-to-swim class schedules are available on the website, so we can try to avoid the busiest times.nnOne suggestion I have is regarding the mold in the showers. Sometimes it's so bad that it seems like a potential health and safety issue. More frequent cleaning is recommended for the shower facilities.nnOverall, the place is managed reasonably well for the price and its convenient location.
