Camden Council lists three public pools and two water play spaces, and the two indoor centres at Oran Park and Mount Annan charge the same casual swim prices: $8.20 for an adult and $6.20 for a child or concession. The water play spaces run from September to April, 10am to 7pm. Times and prices below are as of 9 November 2026.
This guide uses the Council’s Public swimming pools and Water play space pages, and the fees and opening hours pages of the two centres, which we read on 9 November 2026.

Where are the water play spaces?
Camden Council lists two: Dawson-Damer Park and Curry Reserve in Elderslie. Both are open September to April, 10am to 7pm. The Council says the season opens on the Saturday of the first week of the spring school holidays and closes on the Sunday at the end of the last week of the autumn school holidays; it does not print the dates.
| Space | What the Council says |
|---|---|
| Dawson-Damer Park | The Macarthur region’s largest water play space, with water spinners, a ninja warrior course, swings, trampolines, basketball and picnic areas |
| Curry Reserve, Elderslie | A large splash pad with 36 play features, for children of all ages |
Both are described as inclusive: the Council lists wet play wheelchairs and adult change facilities. Curry Reserve also has a fully accessible, accredited public toilet. The Council’s page does not mention an entry fee for either space.
