Noarlunga Aquatic and Recreation Centre

29/10/2026

💦 Exciting milestone! How many litres do you think it took to fill the main pool?
Pop your guess in the comments ⤵️

After 12 months of closure, it's exciting to see the pool sparkling as work continues at the Noarlunga Aquatic and Recreation Centre.

What's happening next?
Now that the pool is full, we'll finish installing the pool heating plant and test the pool water and air-heating systems ahead of reopening. There's still work to do, including final set-up and staff training. We're getting very close now!

And the top five questions everyone's asking:

🏊 When can we swim again?
We’re still on track for an early summer launch and the community announcement will be coming very soon. Stay tuned!

😍 Will the centre look much different?
This project is a refurbishment, not a complete redevelopment. Much of the work has focused on renewing ageing infrastructure and improving safety, accessibility and sustainability to help keep this much-loved facility safe and functional for years to come.

You'll also notice plenty of fresh touches, including accessible ramps, non-slip flooring, a new pool liner, separation of the kids' pool from the main pool, a refreshed sauna, a new first aid room, new gym cardio equipment, renovated reception and café areas, updated signage, murals and landscaping.

🥳 Will the Splash Pad be open this year?
Not this summer, but there's a whole lot of outdoor water play fun to look forward to next year with a brand-new splash pad for the kids!
You'll also have the chance to help shape the splash pad design when we seek community input through our Your Say page.

🤔 Did the project come in on budget?
Yes, in fact due to a competitive tender and additional funding the project has grown beyond its original scope to include major sustainability and amenity upgrades that will make the centre more energy-efficient and comfortable, while reducing long-term running costs.
The refurbishment is proudly supported by the City of Onkaparinga and the Australian Government through the Thriving Suburbs Grant and Community Energy Upgrade Fund.

💰What will the membership and casual fees be?
You’ll find all the details on our website:

There is also a new aquatic centre website coming soon!
