Ellis Park Pool (Olympic-sized)
Escape the heat at this fantastic spot on a sunny day! Adults can enter for just R12, while kids enjoy an even more budget-friendly rate. The main swimming pool is the go-to choice, although the shallow end tends to get crowded. For a more serene experience, head to the less populated mid-section and deep side. There’s also a tiny “kiddies pool” for the little ones.
