Aylmore Mineral Springs
On the 7th March 1934, at a cost of 400 Pounds, the towns' first swimming pool was opened to the public. Fed by the Mineral Springs, thought to be the 2nd inland swimming pool in the state. In 1968 the Mineral Baths were closed due to Health by-laws. The Mineral Springs on the hill to the North East are still flowing today @ approx 1 litre per second. Although having a Mineral content the wetlands below still attract many species of native birds and creatures. The Heritage track is still visible today, from the wetlands and creek behind the pool across fallen tree trunk and along the fence line until it meets up with the sealed cycle track/walkway heading back to the town.
The swimming pool has now moved to a new location at the Gnowangerup Sporting Complex.
Aylmore Mineral Springs are located along Park Road and are set amongst a beautiful picnic & BBQ Area. The high iron content in the water accounts for the unusual colour. The springs flow at over 2 litres per second.
According to Aboriginal folklore two warriors fought to the death and where they died two springs, stained red with their blood appeared. The water is actually stained by the high iron content in the area.
