Cobar Memorial Swimming Pool
One of the best pool west of the mountains!
Serving the Cobar community and surrounds, Cobar Memorial Swimming Pool offers seasonal aquatic fun, recreation, and programs for all ages and abilities.
Our family-friendly complex includes a 7-lane 50m outdoor pool with ramp access, a dedicated hydro program pool, a wet splash play area, and exciting features like a 1m diving board and waterslide. With spacious grassed areas, shaded picnic spots, and plenty of play options — including outdoor table tennis and a giant chess set — it’s the perfect place for both relaxation and active fun.
Visitors can enjoy free undercover BBQ facilities, tasty bites from The Wriggly Bean kiosk, and convenient amenities such as men’s and women’s change rooms, free heated showers, and accessible toilets with baby change facilities.
The waterslide is open all season, with times varying. Please view operational hours below or contact the centre to confirm hours. It is free for season pass holders or available with a $5 day pass for non-pass holders. Riders must be at least 1m tall and follow all safety rules and staff directions. You can also privately hire the waterslide outside normal hours for $120 per hour, perfect for parties and special occasions.
Whether you’re swimming laps, splashing with the kids, or enjoying a sunny family day out, the team at Cobar Memorial Swimming Pool, proudly managed by Leisure and Recreation Group on behalf of Cobar Shire Council, is here to provide a safe, welcoming, and memorable aquatic experience.
