The Gunnedah Memorial Pool Complex underwent a multi-million dollar upgrades in 2017/2018 and the state-of-the-art facility was reopened to the public in December 2018.

The complex, owned and operated by Gunnedah Shire Council, is located in the middle of town among a beautiful setting of trees and lawns. The complex was originally established in the mid 1950s and was built as a war memorial largely funded by community donations and voluntary labour. The upgrades saw the large war memorial located at the entrance to the pavilion retained to continue to pay tribute to those who served.

The complex features:

• a brand new, Fina compliant competition eight lane, 50 metre outdoor swimming pool;
• 25-metre indoor heated pool complex;
• kids' water playground area;
• kids' dry playground area;
• brand new pavilion and amenities;
• kiosk/cafe facilities;
• seating and shaded areas; and
• Large open irrigated grassland areas.

The complex supports Council’s vision for creating liveable communities by providing a modern, family-friendly pool complex which encourages participation in recreational activities and promotes community well-being.
