Every town needs its own pool and in Newstead it’s a beauty. The primarily volunteer run pool features a shaded area and is open every day during the school holidays from 2-8pm weather permitting. The pool is patrolled by lifeguards and also has toilet facilities and a mural created by local artist Karen Piece.
During the pool’s season it also hosts a number of events such as Zumba nights, swimming classes and barbecues. You can purchase season membership to Newstead pool which also gives you season membership to all other pools in Mt Alexander shire.
