Blue Pool from the Glenbrook Entrance“You're approaching the Blue Pool track near Glenbrook's park entrance. For a short walk and a creekside picnic, this is a good option: a sandy bank beside a fern-fringed pool on Glenbrook Creek.”
Plays as you drive up to Glenbrook Entrance and Information Centre in the Parkwolf Blue Mountains Tour Guide.

Guide
Glenbrook Entrance and Information Centre is the eastern gateway to Blue Mountains National Park. The parking area is also called Glenbrook Information Centre, though public access to the office building and a staffed visitor desk aren’t confirmed. Treat this as a park access point, not a place to plan around visitor services.
Park here for Jellybean Track, a short downhill walk to Jellybean Pool, a natural swimming hole beneath sandstone cliffs with sandy edges. This is a useful place to begin if you’re heading for the water; the entrance itself is not the main attraction.
From Glenbrook, Ross Street leads to Burfitt Parade, which continues as Bruce Road to the park entrance. The gate is locked overnight and its opening times change by season, so check current access details before you set out. A vehicle entry charge applies at the Bruce Road gate.
