First and foremost is using high-grade materials from the beginning; this will save you money down the road as you won’t need to replace your pool as often. Also consider accessories like pump and cover costs when creating your budget plan.

Public swimming pools in Hong Kong are managed by Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), offering both indoor and outdoor pools, splash pools, water play parks for families as well as smart card system that enables holders to enter via designated turnstiles during ticket validity period and check photo against database for verification by staff at pools.
Pao Yue-Kong Swimming Pool complex in Wong Chuk Hang is a favorite with children as it features several distinct pools with slides and other forms of aquatic entertainment. There are two main pools, as well as teaching pools, diving pools and toddler pools with sun loungers and family changing rooms available for visitors to use.
Victoria Park is another popular spot for urban swimmers to refresh themselves by diving in, with five pools for training, diving, shallow children’s and paddling available for public use in its park pool complex.
As opposed to many of Hong Kong’s pools, this one remains open all year. Situated close to the Hong Kong National Museum and featuring indoor and outdoor pools as well as leisure pools with fountains and water slides as well as toddlers’ pools, it stands out as an all-year destination.
There are other public swimming pools in Hong Kong, but none as large or well-equipped as this one. One notable exception is Kowloon Park Swimming Pool which opened as part of a redevelopment project in 1989 as the Kowloon Park Swimming Pool opened under Urban Council management but as soon as this council disbanded after millennium changeover occurred it was handed over to newly created Regional Council (RegCo).
