1 / 3The Pavilion | WACA Ground
📍 Perth, WA
Perth's newest aquatic centre at WACA Ground features a heated 50m outdoor pool with stadium views, a children's splash park with waterslides, and learn-to-swim programs for all ages. Indoor and outdoor areas with cafe on-site.
Absolutely love this place! The atmosphere is fantastic! It’s bright, welcoming, and beautifully lit throughout. The café has a great range of options. The gym floor is spotless and offers a great variety of equipment with plenty of space to move comfortably. The views from the group fitness room, gym, and Pilates studio are stunning and make workouts even more enjoyable. Both pools are excellent. The indoor pool is beautifully warm, and the outdoor pool is clean and well maintained, with gorgeous views. I especially appreciate the thoughtful accessibility features, including built-in ramps and appropriate railings in both pools, making them ideal for those using walking aids, wheelchairs, or doing hydrotherapy/rehab. There are plenty of water fountains, showers, toilets, outdoor showers, and ample change rooms, which makes everything feel convenient and well planned. Overall, a clean, inclusive, and well-designed facility with great amenities and views!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families wanting a full aquatic day — toddlers in the splash park, older kids on the slides, and parents doing laps or using the gym. Swim lesson enrolments make this a strong repeat-visit venue. Bring sun protection and arrive early on weekends as shade is sparse on the outdoor pool deck.
