read moreThe City of Darwin has announced that its flagship infrastructure project, the Casuarina Aquatic and Leisure Centre, is approaching a mid-year opening.
Developed on the site of the old Casuarina Pool, when it opens, the Casuarina Aquatic and Leisure Centre will present a dynamic community facility for people of all ages to use and enjoy, with key features to include three new pools for locals to take advantage of - a refurbished, Olympic size eight-lane lap pool (updated with the newest Myrtha Pools technology), a new resort-style lagoon pool perfect for relaxation and a six-lane, 25-metre learn-to-swim pool.
The $26.8 million Centre, made possible by an investment of $19.3 million from the City of Darwin supported by $7.5 million from the Australian Government also has safety and accessibility at front of mind, with the City advising that the Centre meets recognised best practice in pool design by including maximum accessibility options, including zero-depth access to all pools and equal access to amenities, buildings, playgrounds and open play and recreation areas.
Looking forward to the opening, City of Darwin Lord Mayor, Kon Vatskalis stated “the new Centre isn’t just about pools; it’s about accessibility, engagement and a healthier, happier future for locals and visitors.
“It will be a modern, family-friendly place that will provide social and physical benefits for our community.”
Additional features at the centre include an aqua tower, fountains and water squirts in the lagoon area; a dry play area featuring a unique sensory dome; a grassy lounge lawn featuring a basketball half-court and plenty of open space; swimming club rooms and leased spaces for allied health and associated facilities.
