Summer is a time to enjoy a dip in the pool and cool off with some delicious refreshments. But swimming pools in Hong Kong are more than just a place to splash about, they also offer stunning views and some fun water attractions to keep kids entertained. From a stunning ocean-edge pool at the Four Seasons to an outdoor kids pool in Tseung Kwan O with mega waterslides, here are hk pools that offer some awesome water action.
The oldest public pool in the city, Victoria Park Swimming Pool, opened on 16 October 1957 and was unveiled by Governor Grantham. It was the first of a series of new pool complexes, and until 2013 it was a popular destination for families to spend their leisure time and exercise. However, the pool was closed and replaced with a new one (also named Victoria Park Swimming Pool) on site adjacent to it. The new facility includes a main pool, a diving pool and a training pool.
Located at the seafront of Ma On Shan, this massive pool looks out towards Tolo Harbour. Its three outdoor leisure pools are complete with waterfalls, rocks and a footbridge as well as indoor pools including the main pool, a teaching pool and a diving pool. Kids will love splashing about in their two spacious kiddie pools while older tots and children can try out the slew of water slides.
This destination public pool is a huge hit with families, with the outdoor kids pool offering a plethora of fun water installations including mushrooms and tree-shaped fountains and four waterslides. The main pool is perfect for laps and a separate toddler pool makes it safe for beginners to splash around. And when it’s time to relax, you can kick back at the poolside bar and enjoy a refreshing drink.
At the top of the W Hong Kong, you’ll find an outdoor pool with a breathtaking view of the city and the harbour. Called Wet, the pool is 211 metres above sea level and has a special Fit Gym on its rooftop to help you work up a sweat. Non-hotel guests can purchase a day pass to access the pool.
In this gorgeous public pool, you can swim and sunbathe while taking in the iconic view of Hong Kong Island. The rooftop also offers a whirlpool with both hot and cold water as well as underwater speakers so you can listen to your favorite tunes while swimming in the chilly water. If you’re not in the mood for a whirlpool, simply lounge on a sunbed to soak up the rays and enjoy some peace and quiet with your loved ones.
