The park includes a salt-water pool and a fresh-water pool, both filtered naturally.

Jubileumsparken is an experimental urban park located in the former industrial harbor area of Frihamnen in Gothenburg. It serves as a central component of the city's long-term urban development project aiming to reconnect the city center with the Göta Älv river. The park features a distinct public floating swimming pool constructed from recycled materials, which is a centerpiece of the site. Facilities include a saunarium, roller-skating rinks, and urban gardening plots maintained by local volunteers. The landscape design emphasizes industrial heritage, integrating repurposed maritime elements into recreational spaces. The park acts as a test site for sustainable urban living and community-driven recreation. Access to the swimming areas and saunas is typically managed through communal booking systems or drop-in availability depending on the season.

Saunas and pools have seasonal variations; some facilities operate on a reduced schedule or close during mid-winter months.
Public swimming and sauna rules apply; shower before entering pools, and maintain a quiet, respectful atmosphere in the sauna.
