$2 Pool Entry Trial Makes a Splash in Newcastle

As temperatures soar across the Hunter today, locals are being encouraged to cool off with the City of Newcastle’s new $2 Pool Entry Trial, now underway at Mayfield, Stockton, Wallsend, and Beresfield pools.

The initiative, launched by Newcastle Labor, aims to make it easier and more affordable for families to enjoy the city’s community pools during the warmer months.

Whether it’s a quick swim, a family splash, or a relaxing afternoon by the water, residents are being urged to take advantage of the discounted entry while the hot weather continues.

City of Newcastle says the program is designed to make community spaces more accessible and encourage locals to stay active and connected this summer.

So, grab your towel and sunscreen — it’s the perfect day to dive in.
