The building entrance is symmetrically placed in the middle of the two separate front long walls made of bricks.

At the left side of the Redcliffe War Memorial Swimming Pool building, there is an accessible car parking space, demonstrated by the road marking painted with yellow lines and 2 wheelchair icons. Water valves are visible at the right corner alongside the walkways. There are also hedges along the sidewalk that are leaning against the long brick wall of the building at the left corner of the accessible car space.

The road surface marking on Sydney Street, where the location is, indicates that the Redcliffe War Memorial Swimming Pool is close to the main road. The front of the building is surrounded by palm trees, hedges, and walkways.

There are four white flagpoles lined up and three hoop barriers on either side of the path leading to the main entrance, and signage with the name "Redcliffe War Memorial Swimming Pool" is visible on the entrance's upper corner.
