ROBELLE LAGOON
Just a 5 minute walk from USQ’s Springfield campus

Summer started with a splash here in
Springfield with the highly anticipated
opening of its latest edition, the Robelle
Domain Lagoon. Having opened on
the 5th of September, the Lagoon has
quickly become one of Springfield’s main
attractions. Just a 5 minute walk from
USQ’s Springfield campus, the Lagoon is
the perfect place to cool down and relax
after a long lecture! I myself have added a
towel to my list of uni essentials.
If you’re anything like me, you’ll get to the
water then realise you’ve forgotten your
towel and lunch… but there is no reason
to stress! The Lagoon has its own café,
which sells a variety of food and drink,
swim wear and accessories, and just across
the road is Orion Shopping Centre, which
has everything you’ll need for a great day
out, from swimmers to snags!
The Lagoon caters for everyone, with
water depths varying from shallow to
1.5m, fountains and fun rivers for the
little ones to play in and lifeguards on
duty from 5am–9pm. There are plenty of
shaded spots and barbeques around the
area, which make perfect spots for picnics
and there are also plenty of peaceful spots
where you can study.
*pro tip: The Lagoon gets
popular when school’s
out, so weekdays
between 9am and 3pm
are the perfect times to
get your study on.*
