1 / 3Oakleigh Recreational Centre
📍 Oakleigh, VIC
Redeveloped indoor recreation centre in Oakleigh with jumping boards, special needs swimming programs, learn-to-swim, gym, and group fitness. Part of Active Monash with pram access and toddler-friendly facilities.
Great place! Have been looking for a place that does swimming lessons for kids with special needs & they have a separate program. The outdoor pools are fantastic you have everything from jumping boards(rare these days) standard big pool, little pool with great disabled access & even a little impressive shaded pool/splash pad area even a little pirate ship play equipment!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Families with children of all abilities benefit most here — the dedicated special needs swimming program is a genuine differentiator. Confident swimmers aged 7+ will gravitate toward the jumping boards. The gym and group fitness classes make it a full family destination rather than a swim-only visit.

“Great Centre to train at, very clean change rooms. The new equipment in the gym is great. I love the group fitness sessions, especially the Strong Class and Thursday night HiiT class, all well run with great Trainers who will offer exercise modifications when needed and exercise technique. The outdoor pool over the summer months is fabulous.”
