Pedal Power makes a splash at Coburg Olympic Pool!

To celebrate this wonderful community asset, Friends of Coburg Olympic Pool are hosting a free ‘ride to pool’ day on Sunday 23rd of January 2011. People are encouraged to pedal to the pool to enjoy a free day of live music, food, kids activities and valet bicycle parking! Located on the shady banks of the Merri creek, the Coburg Olympic Pool is conveniently accessed by the Merri creek bike path.

After a do-or-die community campaign back in 2008 to save the iconic 1960’s outdoor swimming pool, the Coburg Olympic pool opens its doors again this summer to provide a unique retro pool experience.
