Jellybean Pool is very popular with locals in the warmer months, with its sandy beaches, shady rock platforms and impressive sandstone boulders. It is a beautiful spot to splash, play and enjoy a family picnic.

Essential Safety Information Around Water

Swimming, splashing and water play can be dangerous and the depth of the Jellybean pool varies, so always supervise your children.

CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED CLOSELY AT ALL TIMES AROUND WATER, even if it is shallow. Please CLICK HERE to read about our SAFETY INFORMATION and disclaimer. It is important information that you need to know, so please read it all carefully.

Helpful Tips For Visiting Jellybean Pool Glenbrook

The walk down to Jellybean Pool from the carpark is about a 200m (10-minute) walk down to the pool. Sturdy shoes would be helpful as there are parts of the walk without a handrail. If you have a preexisting injury, a wheelchair or a family member who is not too steady on his or her feet, this walk is not recommended.

Keep in mind, what goes down must come back up! There are no toilets or cafes. Please keep an eye out for snakes in the warmer months and avoid this spot after heavy rain, as it floods easily.

Take your rubbish with you, as there are no bins. There is parking near both pools and an overflow parking area near Jellybean Pool (which is a bit of extra walking).

Please read our safety tips for swimming with children, if you haven’t already.

Stairs down to Jellybean Pool

Finding the track

From Glenbrook train station, follow Burfitt Parade and then Bruce Road for 1.2km. As you enter the National Parks entrance gates, continue through the gates, following signs to Jelly Bean Pool. This is not a bushwalk, but rather, a lovely place to visit with your family.

If you are after a slightly challenging addition to your adventure to Jellybean Pool, spend 15 minutes of medium-hard rock scrambling across to Blue Pool (not recommended for children younger than 4 years). You can return the way you arrived or walk along the road back (it is best to bring a map or GPS).

The Finer Details

If you have a NSW National Parks pass on your car, you won’t need to pay the $8 per car entry fee to access Blue Pool and Jellybean Pool. The gates open at 8:30am and are locked at 7pm during daylight saving and at 6pm the rest of the year.
