General
The Ottakringer Bad offers something for everyone: a deep sports pool for swimmers, a multi-purpose pool with a water slide and an indoor pool with a well-equipped sauna area. Particularly noteworthy are the large sunbathing lawn and the variety of sports options such as football, beach volleyball and beach soccer.
outdoor pool
The outdoor pool has several pools designed for different needs. The deeper sports pools is perfect for swimmers who want to train seriously.
For families and children there is a adventure pool, which is equipped with a large water slide and a water mushroom. These elements provide a lot of fun and variety.
There is also a special children's pool, which is shallower and therefore ideal for small children. There is also a paddling pool for the little ones where they can play and splash around safely.
lawn
The lawn is very spacious, but there are very few places in the shade. It can get quite crowded on hot days. At least the children's pools are in the shadiest part of the area, so you don't have to worry about that.
swimming pool
The Ottakringer Bad swimming pool has a multi-purpose pool that can be used in many different ways. Here you can swim laps or just splash around. There is also a separate diving pool with diving platforms, which is only available to schools and clubs.
sauna area
The sauna area in the Ottakringer Bad is fully equipped and offers various saunas and a steam bath. After the sauna session, you can cool off in the cold pool. The sauna area is divided into separate areas for women and men, which provides additional privacy.
leisure activities
Away from the swimming pools, the Ottakringer Bad offers a variety of leisure activities. A large football pitch as well as beach volleyball and beach soccer courts invite you to take part in sporting activities. For the youngest visitors, there is a children's playground that offers additional entertainment in addition to the water fun. Unfortunately, the children's playground is completely exposed to the sun.
gastronomy
There is a restaurant in the Ottakringer pool that offers a wide range of food and drinks. Here you can get some energy after swimming or just take a break and enjoy the time. We treated ourselves to a sour schnitzel with chips. There are also smaller snack stands where you can get chips, langos or a schnitzel sandwich. Of course, there is also a kiosk that sells ice cream on a stick in this pool.

The Ottakringer pool is barrier-free, so that people with limited mobility can easily use all areas. Barrier-free toilets, showers, changing rooms and a pool lift ensure a comfortable visit.
