The SA Aquatic and Leisure Centre is a huge indoor swimming pool facility located at 443 Morphett Road, Oaklands Park.
There are many different things to do at the centre both water and land based! There is also a gym, creche, lap-swimming pool, cafe, retail store and function rooms. The creche is complementary (gold coin donation) for members only.
But let’s cut to the chase- how good are the pools and splash park? Well, there’s a 50m pool (which can also be divided into two 25m pools), plus smaller pools for novice or learning swimmers. There’s an interactive water playground, a Toddler Pool, Big Water Bucket plus diving boards!
AND you can add waterslides to that list as of September 2025
𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗲 -a twisting, turning enclosed Red tunnel, perfect for all ages and skill levels.
𝗔𝗾𝘂𝗮 𝗧𝘂𝗯𝗲 – a high-speed bowl Blue slide with a steep plunge, designed for the thrill-seekers.
Open every weekend 1pm – 4pm
Riders must be aged 10+ over 1.2m tall and must complete a safety swim before sliding.
Their Aquaplay program is a really great way to introduce the kids to water in a safe environment with lots of toys, floatation devices and instructors to help.
If the sound of all this water action exhausts you, check out the steam room or sauna instead- or relax in the cafe!
