SWIMMING POOL

Public BBQ

The Olympic-sized swimming complex in Hay stands as one of those delightfully uncomplicated civic gestures that would make other councils weep with envy. Three pools sprawl across the grounds - a proper 50-metre lap pool, a medium-depth option, and a shallow haven for toddlers who haven't yet mastered the art of not drowning. Recent renovations have blessed the facility with gleaming change rooms and toilets that actually function, while established shade trees provide merciful relief from the outback sun. BBQ facilities invite the quintessentially Australian ritual of snags on bread poolside. The fact that this aquatic paradise costs absolutely nothing suggests either remarkable civic generosity or a clerical error that nobody's been brave enough to mention. At 23.5°C on summer mornings, the unheated water strikes that perfect balance between refreshing and survivable.
