Temporary closure of Pyramid Hill Swimming Pool
Due to unforeseen emergency pipework repairs, the Pyramid Hill Pool will remain closed until further notice. We understand the inconvenience this may cause, and want to assure you that officers and contractors are working hard to resolve this as quickly as possible. Due to the nature of the works, the pool cannot remain open while the repairs are undertaken. We’re hopeful the Pyramid Hill Swimming Pool will be back open soon – please keep an eye on the Pyramid Hill Swimming Pool website and Loddon Shire Council’s Facebook page for updates.

Bridgewater swimming hole pontoon
On a more positive note, the installation of the pontoon at Bridgewater swimming hole has been completed. This project was made possible through funding allocated for flood claims, following the damage sustained by the previous pontoon during the October 2022 floods. This is perfect timing for the hot summer swimming season.
Bridgwater swimming hole is located at 10-12 Brougham St, Bridgewater on Loddon. The swimming hole also provides, picnic tables, undercover barbeque area, walking tracks, toilets and more.
