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.
Warren and Mahoney’s deep knowledge of aquatics and their experience with Design and Construct delivery has provided confidence and clarity at every stage, supporting both efficient decision-making and successful project outcomes. The team’s professionalism, collaborative approach, and commitment to excellence have been integral to the success of the project.
The Adelaide Aquatic Centre exemplifies context-led design, enhancing its natural Park Lands setting while encouraging greater public visitation. Nestled into the landscape, the aquatic centre sits lightly within its surroundings and gives back without taking away: an approach that reflects a highly considered and responsive addition to this sensitive environment.
Balancing environmental sensitivity with social activation, the aquatic centre invites people to reconnect with the Park Lands in inclusive and engaging ways. It breathes life into the City of Adelaide for locals and visitors alike and sets a strong benchmark for the development of future community facilities.
