About Pines Forest Aquatic Centre
Pines Forest Aquatic Centre is a much-loved seasonal outdoor pool set within Monterey Community Park in Frankston North, run as part of the Peninsula Leisure network. The centrepiece is a 50-metre pool, complemented by a smaller children's pool and a water slide, making it a relaxed, family-friendly spot for both lap swimmers and kids during the warmer months.
The centre is more than just a swim; reviewers describe a clean, peaceful environment with happy, helpful staff, plus shaded grassed areas, BBQ facilities, a basketball hoop and casual seating that turn a swim into an easy day out. Locals see it as a valuable community asset that supports health and wellbeing and offers a safer alternative to open-water swimming.
Alongside recreational swimming, the centre runs learn-to-swim and water-safety programs including VicSwim, plus dedicated lap-swimming sessions and hire for swim groups and school carnivals. Please note it operates seasonally and closes over winter. For Frankston North families wanting affordable, supervised swimming and swim education close to home, Pines Forest is a genuine local gem.
