We visited the centre on a Sunday afternoon about 4 pm. The centre is well sign posted and easy to…read morefind. On entering the car park I saw signs saying the car park was $5 per hour (more on that in a bit). I managed to park near the entrance and entered what looks like an underground bunker. No queues and admission for one adult and one child was $13. They took my parking ticket and validated it for 4 hours free parking - result! The centre is very impressive with a large Olympic pool to the left of you with the high diving boards. On the right is another pool and the kids area. Lockers are $2 per use, each time you open and close them will cost you $2. Changing rooms were a bit bizarre. There were 4 family rooms that you could lock but they were huge and very wet! There were other changing rooms open to anyone but the showers could have done with regular inspections. There was chewing gum and toilet paper on the floor. Shame! Onto the swimming and fun! There is a huge area just right for young kids to play around in the water with plenty of fountains and little slides to play on. Every 10 minutes or so the huge bucket would tip over and drench everyone underneath it. All the kids would make sure they were positioned ready to get soaked. To the right was a lazy river which went round in a huge circle. It was really strong and my daughter loved it. Up above it was a fairly fast slide which my daughter also loved. There is a height limit of 120cm for the slide. All in all, great afternoon of fun. Changing rooms could do with an attendant to keep them nice and clean.

I've been to this studio twice, once in 2017 & once in 2018. It's in a strange location so if…read moreyou're new it might seem difficult to find from the street. There is a small cafe on the first floor, if you walk around the building towards the right, you'll see the sign & entrance on your left. Go up the stairs. You leave your shoes on that second floor but the studio is on the 3rd. This is a very large studio that can accommodate up to 100 students. There is a large community area with couches and such in the lobby. They sell or rent items such as: towels, mats, water, retail clothing, etc. There are separate changing rooms for men & women however the shower stalls are outside of this area so bring what you need to be able to shower in one location and dress in the other. They provide hair dryers, plastic bags for wet clothing, etc. If you want a lock for you locker, they just need something like an ID to hold as collateral for the usage. They only offer the 90 minute Bikram Yoga unfortunately. The heating system in the room is adequate and the instructors do occasionally open the doors to ventilate. The students here are friendly. You can see that most of them have been practicing for awhile but there are new students too, it's a good mix. The only thing I didn't like about the room is the columns in the middle and the dreary curtains. I think it would be nice to have natural light coming in. I heard this studio was recently purchased by new owners, I met both of them and they were very sweet & welcoming. I plan to return!

Yip, imagine tying yourself up in a harness and spending most of your Yoga class upside down strapped to a wall.... to some this may totally freak you out - but for me - I LOVE IT - I consider it my heaven.... You see Wall Yoga, uses gravity to push your body deeper and deeper into its stretches... which is you're a yoga lover like me - you're gonna adore... Is this for beginners? I don't know - the gym says yes, but I think you will get more value out of it if you're more experienced.... The one warning I would have is you do spend a decent amount of time hanging suspended from the ground - upside down....if this freaks you out, i would give it a miss.... Classes last for an hour and available to members or for drop in's ($25)...

Better traction in the middle lane here. No need to worry about catching up with the other swimmers swimming laps in your lane. A great pool. Unlike the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre, I had to go into the slow lane here once, and yet I enjoyed uninterrupted swimming, and achieving results in half the time than in the fast lanes at other pools. Quite large and spacious. Great range of classes and learn to swim programs. The showers stay on until you turn off the taps in the change room facilities here. Soap is available too. Again a great pool. Fairly good rates. Location wise, excellent. Only a short stroll from Central train station.

Oh the rolling hills of Prince Alfred, may you soon become beautiful and complete…read more Right now, Prince Alfred is a bit filled with constructiony stuff, a bit muddy, and generally just a place to pass through on the way to somewhere else. BUT - City of Sydney Council are certainly working on it. They've got cycle-maintenance stands, interactive artworks, rather fetching play equipment and green, lush grass. They're sexing up the tennis court office place, which is apparently a heritage building. This park is a good spot for a weekend BBQ, and has a large set of busy tennis courts, as well as a few basketball courts, though you'll have to involve yourself in a play-off in order to get some use of the latter. The Strawberry Hills end of the park has a "native reserve" presumably for native plants, although right now there are just seem to be big fig trees and patches of longer grass. I have a few issues with the placement of the walking paths in this park, as I don't think they properly echo the "desire paths" of pedestrians. (When I say pedestrians I probably just mean "me", but there it is.) The result is -- I often end up walking through the "native reserve" and getting wet and muddy, rather than staying on the path. I am already anticipating updating this review in mid-2012, which is when the fancy new Prince Alfred Park pool is opened, or so they say....

Prince Alfred Park has felt a little incomplete since the demolition of the swimming pool in 2009,…read morebut Sydney City assures that the general population will be able to the enjoy the new improved pool in early 2012. With an advanced temperature control system and filter, a splash pool for toddlers, and lush greenery surrounding both the pool and sunbathing areas, it shouldn't fall short of impressive. But there are other reasons to love Prince Albert Park, even as we anxiously await the renovation completions. Are you a fitness buff? The park's jogging path isn't massive (you've have to loop like a hamster in a wheel to get any sizable sweat), but there are several workout stations with pull up and push up bars. Each circuit comes with instructions so you'll know exactly how to get that burn. And what about for the little ones? Apparently the kids attractions are still being worked on, but for now, you can make use of the swings and teeter-tooter. Otherwise, bring your sun blanket, bring some meat for the barbie (public BBQs available), or bring your racket for a match on the tennis courts and I'm sure Price Alfred will cater to a lovely afternoon. If not, stop back by in early 2012 and you might feel differently.
