Murray Rose Pool, located in Double Bay, is a picturesque harborside swimming pool. It is renowned as one of Sydney's best ocean pools, offering a large 90-meter-long swimming area enclosed by shark netting, ensuring safety from marine life. The pool features an elevated boardwalk, floating pontoons, and a grassy slope with ample shady spots for relaxation. The area provides beautiful views of the yachts and boats in the bay, along with the iconic Green and Gold Manly Ferry. Entry is free, and facilities include change rooms and showers, but there are no lifeguards on duty. The pool is known for its historical significance as it was named after Australian Olympic swimmer Murray Rose. Visitors often enjoy picnics on the grass or sand, and there's a nearby cafe offering snacks and refreshments.

The pool is accessible via a long set of stairs from New South Head Road, which can be challenging, especially with young children or heavy bags. Limited parking is a significant drawback. Despite these challenges, Murray Rose Pool remains a favorite spot for both locals and tourists due to its serene ambiance and stunning Sydney Harbour views.

History plays a significant role here as Murray Rose, a legendary Australian swimmer, learned to swim in this pool when it was previously known as Redleaf Pool, before being renamed in his honor in 2012.
