Why the Parramatta Aquatic Centre stands out
The centre pairs a 50-meter outdoor pool with a 25-meter indoor pool, so swimmers can choose between swimming in the open air and swimming under cover. We chose it as one of our two Pools of the Month for September 2023 because it had only just opened.
For photographs of the new facility, see the centre's page on the City of Parramatta website.
