7 Best Family-friendly Pools in Hong Kong

Grand Hyatt Hong Kong 
The Grand Hyatt caters to kids with its spacious family suites, kids’ activities, and an 11th floor playground and outdoor pool perfect for lounging and splashing around with the little ones. Open from sunrise to sunset, families can spend the whole day grabbing a tan and some quality bonding poolside, with plenty of refreshments on offer from The Grill for lunch or dinner. And if you need to work off those carbs but are sick of swimming, put on your runners instead and head off on the 400m jogging path around the hotel. 
Day pass, $550. 1 Harbour Rd., Wan Chai, 2588-1234

Wellness Pool, Cordis, Hong Kong

Located on the 42nd floor, the rooftop pool is heated and offers stunning cityscape views, along with a Jacuzzi, underwater speaker system and cozy cabanas for a midday nap.

Chinese YMCA Pool
A one-stop shop for those on low-key budgets who want exercise, a pool and sports facilities all in one, the Chinese YMCA is still running strong after many years and maintains clean, ample facilities for its members and guests. The indoor pool was the first of its kind in the city—built in 1918—and remains to this day a favorite amongst the area’s residents. It’s less crowded than most of the outdoor public pools in Hong Kong, and costs a fraction of the price. After swimming a few laps in the 25-meter pool, head to the weight training room and cardiovascular conditioning rooms complete with state-of-the-art equipment. There are also indoor climbing walls, badminton courts and squash courts—the options are endless. 
$30 for a yearly membership, $40 per visit. 1/F, 51 Bridges Street, Sheung Wan

Kowloon Park Swimming Pool 
Located in the heart of Kowloon, this public swimming pool is a sprawling space with an Olympic-sized main pool, two training pools, a diving pool, a sunbathing area and a toddler pool for the little ones. Through October, the pool opens with three sessions (6:30am-noon; 1-5pm; 6-10pm), and often stages major international swimming events. The lagoon-like layout of the facility gives the pool a distinct resort feel, which makes this place packed with sunbathers on the weekends. Try to head there on a weekday if you can to snag one of the lounge chairs and have some peace and quiet amidst the busy urban surrounds. 
Weekdays, $8; weekends and public holidays $19. Monthly pass, $300. 22 Austin Rd., Tsim Sha Tsui
