Prahran Aquatic Centre closes for winter refurbishing

City of Stonnington has advised that Prahran Aquatic Centre is closed for several months while refurbishments are undertaken at the outdoor pools and indoor facilities.

Open since 1963 and previously updated in the 90s, the pools and buildings are showing signs of wear and tear and need a refresh.

Over the next months Council will complete a program of improvement works including refurbishing the outdoor 50-metre and toddler pools, upgrading the pool surrounds and repairing the grandstand seating.

Inside the centre building the tiles and fittings in the change rooms will be updated and improvements made to the spa and sauna areas.

The water heat pump that failed weeks out from the planned refurbishment works will also be replaced.

These works will bring the centre up to an acceptable standard for the mid-term, with a full redevelopment planned in the future through the Princes Gardens masterplan implementation.

All going to plan, Council looks forward to welcoming pool patrons back in spring 2023.

With the centre closed, PAC visit passes and memberships will be accepted and regular user groups will relocate to Harold Holt Swim Centre.

For PAC members who don’t want to relocate, memberships can be suspended and visit passes will automatically be extended.

Council expect for the new few months Harold Holt Swim Centre will be busier than usual and recommend patrons bear this in mind when planning a visit with lap swimmers being recommended to check lap lane availability in advance.
