Parramatta Swimming Centre: Photos of This Much Loved Pool Complex, Now Closed

Boo hoo! Parramatta Swimming Centre has closed to make way for a new stadium.

Sacrilege!

Those wonderful waterslides are gone.

I am leaving here lots of photos of the pool as it was over the years we visited… roughly from 2003 until it closed in 2017.

Hope these photos bring back happy memories for you. Our family loved many visits to the old Swimming Centre.

Pools: Outdoors—50 metre heated pool, large shallow toddler pool, teaching pool, deep diving pool

This spacious pool complex was spread out over cool, green lawns.

The long waterslides were set on a bushy hillside.

The high diving boards were a thrill to watch and later to jump from.

Splash! Loved these shirts worn by the lifeguards. Bethany, our fearless au pair leapt from the top board! The large toddler pool, unshaded end. The learn to swim, plus play, pool.

How sad never to go to Parramatta Swimming Centre again… the new stadium is being built there now.  Let’s hope there’s a new pool complex for Parramatta soon.
