The Brand-New Parramatta Aquatic Centre is Officially Open

What to Expect at the New Parramatta Aquatic Centre

This incredible new facility beautifully blends with the picturesque Parramatta Park surroundings. Drawing inspiration from the historical farm enclosures and charming river swimming spots along the Parramatta River, PAC's eye-catching ring enclosure adds a touch of uniqueness to its design. 

The new building is covered by native trees to provide shade, with a beautiful gabion wall, featuring stacked stone rocks offering a really natural finish.

The circular facility has been purposely designed with an open-plan feel to optimise natural light and airflow. Swoon!

The centre is also designed with sustainability in mind and boasts state-of-the-art features, with accessibility a top priority.

PAC is a place where people of all ages, abilities, interests, and backgrounds will feel safe, welcome, and able to embrace a healthy and active lifestyle.

The New Facilities

The new Parramatta Aquatic and Leisure Centre covers 40,000 square metres in Parramatta Park. The new facilities at the centre are diverse and wide-reaching, including the likes of: 

• 50-metre, 10-lane heated outdoor pool with seating
• 25-metre, eigh-lane heated indoor recreational pool
