North Sydney Council has confirmed details of a New Year’s Eve celebration like no other, with a family pool party for 1000 people set for North Sydney Pool.

The alcohol-free event will commence at 6 pm on Thursday 31 December, with revellers enjoying the harbour city’s iconic fireworks from the water.

Tickets to the pool party are on sale from Wednesday 11 November.

Adults will be charged $250, and children aged three to 15 years will be $125.

Food and drinks will be sold at the venue.

“North Sydney Olympic Pool has one of the most extraordinary settings in Sydney, and what better way to celebrate its return than bringing the community together here for New Year’s Eve,” North Sydney Mayor Zoë Baker said.

“This will be a very special way for families to welcome 2027 together, enjoying the harbour celebrations at the reopened Pool,” Mayor Baker said.

“For 90 years, this much-loved Pool has been part of North Sydney’s story, and its reopening gives us something special to celebrate as we welcome 2027.”

The party caps a comeback year for the 90-year-old Wonder Pool at Milsons Point, which reopened on 7 August after a five-year rebuild and drew more than 10,000 people through its gates on the free opening weekend.

Mosman Collective first reported the plan in October, when council’s own modelling had the night turning a $173,584 profit.

Members and casual swimmers can still squeeze in a last swim for the year, with North Sydney Olympic Pool and Gym open from 5.30 am to 2 pm on New Year’s Eve before it closes to set up for the party.

Tickets go on sale at 12 pm on Wednesday 11 November at northsydneyolympicpool.com.au/events/nye-pool-party, and the pool posts updates on Instagram at @northsydneypool.
