Friends of the Fawkner Pool

Friends of the Fawkner Pool WE WON! We started this page to save our outdoor swimming pools from being closed. Our Fawkner Outdoor Pool brings our community together. We won!!!

It is a place to keep us cool in summer. It is also one of the only places for young people in Fawkner. Our outdoor pool is the heart and soul of our community and has been so for over 50 years. Fawkner is an important part of Moreland, and deserves the same investment in community services and amenities. Council’s own data tells us that Fawkner is one of the more disadvantaged communities in Mor

eland. Removing the pool denies us one of the only affordable opportunities to meet, cool down, relax and learn to swim during our increasingly hotter summers. We are a proudly diverse community and the outdoor pool allows us to stay connected and build our community. Fawkner has by far the highest number of young people and children in Moreland (27% under 19 years) with very few affordable opportunities to socialise and have fun. What will they do in summer? Where will they go? The pool has been neglected and mismanaged for decades: No investment, low staffing, inconsistent opening hours.
