YOUR NEW LEISURELINK
Welcome to the New Leisurelink's Home Page. This page is designed to keep you updated with the latest news and developments that are happening to the new centre.
This is what your new Leisurelink will look like.
Local artist Mark Cairns created this impression of the $30 million gym and aquatic centre currently being built on the corner of Pioneer Rd and Princes Hwy in Waurn Ponds.
Features of the new Leisurelink facility include:
- An 8-lane 50-metre competition standard swimming pool - a legacy from the 2008 World Swimming Championships, with ramp access and boom enabling it to be divided into two 25-metre pools.
- A state-of-the-art gym and aerobics complex - greater floor space and a wider range of equipment.
- Cannon Bowl Waterslide - a 12 m to 15m high slide featuring a large bowl (diameter of 12m) which swirls swimmers around before dropping them out of a hole into a pool.
- The Black Hole Waterslide - a 12m to 15m high twisting tube ride in total darkness until swimmers reach the final splashdown.
- Water Adventure Park - featuring water canons, an overhead tipping bucket and a spinning water wheel.
- Kids' Splash Pad - rubber flooring play space with water shooting from fountains and jets at random.
- Learn-to-Swim pool.
- Hydro pool with ramp access.
- Spa/Sauna.
- Multi purpose rooms.
- Separate wet and dry change facilities.
