Frognerbadet, Public swimming complex in Frogner district, Norway.
Frognerbadet is a public swimming complex with two 50-meter pools, a children's pool, and a diving tower set within Frogner Park grounds. The facility offers distinct water zones for different swimming activities alongside green park space.
The facility opened in 1956 and has served as a recreation destination for Oslo's population ever since. Over more than six decades, it became an established place where multiple generations of swimmers have come to train and play.
During summer, the pools serve as popular gathering places where Oslo residents come together to enjoy Nordic weather. People use the facility as a social hub where swimming and leisure time blend with community connection.
The water is heated to a comfortable 25 degrees Celsius (77 Fahrenheit), making swimming pleasant year-round. Different admission rates apply for adults, children, seniors, and family groups across various days of the week.
The complex sits directly next to Vigeland Sculpture Park, which houses Norway's largest collection of sculptures. Visitors can move between swimming and viewing art, combining two very different experiences in a single visit.
