Sports and Recreation With the existing much-loved Adelaide Aquatic Centre (AAC) facility coming to end of its practical life, the South Australian government prioritised its redevelopment as one of its major objectives. The Adelaide Aquatic Centre Development, designed by Warren and Mahoney in association with JPE Design Studio, is a project of State significance - one which will define sports engagement and participation for the city for generations to come.
The new Adelaide sport and recreation facility will be a contemporary aquatic and leisure centre with a focus on meeting the broader communities needs. Providing a benchmark sports and wellness hub for community and performance for all South Australians, the facility will include a 50-metre, 10-lane indoor pool, a 25-metre, an 8-lane outdoor pool, a dedicated indoor rehabilitation pool, a dedicated learn to swim pool, an outdoor lagoon pool, diving facilities, indoor and outdoor water play areas, spa, sauna and steam room facilities, gym and fitness facilities, cafe, barbecue, and lawned areas, and inclusive amenities and change rooms.
The design approach has been centred around creating high quality spaces that use warm and natural tones to reflect the local landscape. There has also been a strong focus on ensuring the spaces are welcoming for all people of all abilities, cultures and ages.
