The community will have the chance to enjoy the outdoor pools ahead of the summer season. Council operates much-loved pools at Moe and Yallourn North, which will remain open right through summer until 11 March 2024.
Both pools are equipped with ample grass, shaded areas, barbecues, change facilities and children’s areas, making outdoor pools the perfect place to spend a hot summer day.
Mayor of Latrobe City Council, Councillor Darren Howe, said outdoor pools are very popular within the community in the warmer months.
“It is always great to see people making good use of our outdoor pools, enjoying an opportunity to connect and enjoy one another’s company while seeking some cool relief on a warm summer day,” said the Mayor.
