We have three public pools in the Cessnock LGA. Please see below for more information about each facility.

Please note: Council's outdoor seasonal pools at Branxton and Cessnock are generally open from the end of September until the start of April (click on the relevant pool below to view specific opening hours). The Kurri Kurri Aquatic and Fitness Centre is open daily year-round.
