Arrival at Dayboro Pool & Gym

The Dayboro Pool & Gymnasium, located at the corner of Mt. Mee Road and Williams Street in the tranquil town of Dayboro, is nestled among well-established native trees, including Gums and Paperbarks. This low-rise brick facility features a designated car park that adjoins a local park, complete with a skate park and a children's gym. 

Parking, set under the shade of trees, is just a few meters from the entrance. Step-free access provides a smooth connection for wheelchair users from the parking area to a concrete and brick pathway, leading directly to the gate entrance.
