On days when the temperature is forecast to reach 24°C or above in Sale, the Heyfield Memorial Pool will open for extended hours beyond the usual schedule. This allows the community to cool down and make the most of the hot weather, providing more opportunities to enjoy the facilities during those warm days.
Forecasts are based on the Bureau of Meteorology and determined by 4pm the day before.
See the details above for extended opening hours.
