Soaking up summer’s sun and making a splash



Belgrave Outdoor Pool was the place to be on Tuesday 14 January as people from all over the Yarra Ranges travelled to enjoy the warm weather and sunshine.

From trying the best jumps and tricks to get into the pool to play water fights, there was so much fun being had at the local pool.

Users of the pool commented that Belgrave Outdoor Pool ticked all the boxes for them, the main one being the outdoor environment, hence some travelling the distance from Wesburn, Yarra Junction and Mount Evelyn.

Others said it was the length and size of the pool, the shaded spots and the accessibility that made it a great summers day out location.

Journalist Tanya Steele captured these moments poolside.
