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 but most kids (and adults!) agree that the waterslides are the best part! 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 slides? 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! The waterslides include a 75m Space Bowl, which consists of twists and turns to keep the kids entertained! The Aqua Tube is a fast tunnel of speed sliding- loads of fun!
The waterslides will be closed for refurbishment for a period of about 2 months from March 2024.
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!
