Maesteg open-air swimming baths were constructed in 1938 at a cost of £8,000. Unlike other open-air baths built in this period, such as the baths at the Celtic Welfare Grounds at Garth, these did not have changing boxes along the sides of the pool and were, as a consequence, much less enclosed. A diving platform and slide was provided. Converted in the late-1960s to an indoor swimming pool, the present-day facility opened in 1969 at a cost of £80,000.
