The Sandgate Aquatic Centre underwent a refurbishment in 2017 and has since reopened to the delight of families near and far. Come and see what all the fuss is about!
Sandgate Aquatic Centre
The $500,000 Sandgate Aquatic Centre upgrade project was completed in time for the 2017 September holidays and has been causing an absolute SPLASH ever since.
Summers from here on out are sure to be spent in style at Sandgate Aquatic Centre! It’s fast become a real mecca for Northside families and is drawing crowds to the foreshore district.
What improvements have been made?
The Brisbane City Council and Playrope have worked hard to make the following transformations:
- The old wading pool has been transformed into a fabulous all-ages play zone
- An interactive all-abilities water play area has now been installed
- A fantastic splash tower complete with tipping bucket
- A super fun waterslide has been put in place
- User-directional, easily maneuvered water jets
- Cool water fountains and spray features are now operational
Sandgate Aquatic Centre as a valuable community resource
When asked about the project, Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said, “This has delivered more play features for younger children, creating a more family-friendly atmosphere for residents, and transforming what was once just a trip to the local pool to a fun-filled day out for the entire family. Our world-class pools are a popular destination for people looking for a great day out, and we continue to invest in new and upgraded facilities.”
This initiative is now making the area a lot safer and more sustainable in terms of fun, healthy family-friendly entertainment. It’s so great to get out and get active in Brisbane and take advantage of the range of public pools on offer for everyone!
