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!
Please note: The waterslides are currently closed for refurbishment.
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!
Things to note are;
- The Splash Park has certain opening hours so check the website for up-to-date information, however it is generally open in the mornings from 9-12 and the afternoons from 3:30-6:30pm. On weekends it’s open from 9-6.
