Old-School Splash at Spring Hill Baths

Overview

As soon as the mercury hits anything above 25 degrees, Queenslanders will drop everything to find the nearest body of water- working commitments be damned! On a bad day, said 'body of water' might look like a room temperature bath, or a partially deflated kiddie paddling pool. But on a good day? Well, it might look a bit like the Spring Hill Baths. Don't waste your time battling highway traffic to get to the beach- this heritage-listed pool is just a stone's throw from the CBD. With more aquatic group fitness classes than you can shake your goggles at, Spring Hill Baths is famed for being Brisbane's first in-ground pool. The brightly painted changing room doors, and traditional grandstand seating, gives this swimming spot a sweet, nostalgic touch. Plus, there is a dive-in cinema, for some seriously chilled summer viewing.
