HISTORY ABOUT THE POOL....
The pool originally opened on 23 November 1968. Back then, it was managed by Mr Merv Millar whose wife, Pauline, ran the kiosk.
Since then, Bilgoman has seen many changes over the years. In 1990 a gas heater was installed, followed by a roof structure in 1995, entry in 1996, solar power in 1997 then a $2.7 million upgrade in 2014.
