Hong Kong offers some of the finest swimming pools around – hotel rooftop pools to world-renowned indoor pools at the highest points in the city – which offer breathtaking views and impeccable service for a memorable holiday experience. These luxurious aquatic facilities will make your next vacation one to remember!
Kowloon Park Swimming Pool was constructed as part of an expansive redevelopment and expansion project completed in 1989, designed by Derek Walker Associates and commissioned by Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club. BuroHappold engineered the pool construction while Shui On provided lockers; admission costs only HK$19 on weekends or bank holidays for adults while children pay only HK$9. Lockers are available and entry fees can be paid with an Octopus card – please check their schedule before visiting!
Add custom pool features to your custom design with ease by consulting a Premier builder. Popular options and features may include adding a spillover spa ($15,000), sun shelf ($3,000), sun jets (HK$750 each), deck jets, water bubblers, raised waterfalls ($5,000), rock waterfalls (7,500), in-pool table and barstools (7,500) and water slides (5K). But the possibilities for customization are virtually limitless; make sure that before beginning designing you establish a budget so they can help create the ideal pool that fits within it!
Rooftop pools can be an amazing way to take in Hong Kong, but their costs can add up quickly. Most are exclusive to hotel guests or require full-day passes; non-hotel guests could incur hundreds in daily passes that make swimming laps hard to justify when there are so many other exciting things going on in town.
Leisure and Cultural Services Department will implement a monthly ticket smart card system at all public swimming pools for this new swimming season. Cards will feature portraits of cardholders and preload them with information regarding their validity period for faster and easier admission into swimming pools. The government hopes that its new system will enhance lifeguard services by decreasing time spent checking ID and enabling lifeguards to start work earlier. So far, only 40 of 600 seasonal lifeguards have reported for duty this year – that’s less than half what’s necessary for safe and effective lifeguarding at the city’s pools, beaches, and public beaches. Furthermore, efforts are underway to find ways to improve remuneration and conditions for city lifeguards.
