Cabonne Swimming Pools Upgrades

CABONNE_YEOVAL_LOWRES_(5_of_48)[1].jpg

Cabonne Council is proud to maintain seven swimming pools across the shire, with ages ranging from over 70 years to just 10 years. These community pools have long been the heart of social life, particularly during the scorching summer months. Our aim is to ensure these pools remain vibrant community hubs, providing well-maintained and accessible facilities for everyone.

Following a successful application for Resources for Regions funding in 2022, we have commenced upgrading some of the ageing infrastructure at Cabonne Pools. Starting in 2023, we replaced non-compliant pool fencing with pool-safe diplomat fencing at all locations.
