Children enjoying a public pool

Splish splash at Beenleigh Aquatic Centre's community open day

The redeveloped Beenleigh Aquatic Centre is close to opening its doors, and the community is invited to celebrate its official opening at the end of February.

The family-friendly facility will be home to the City of Logan's second Olympic-size swimming pool, as well as a new children's water play area, shaded seating, barbecues, and a kiosk.

A pool ramp improving safety and independence for people living with a disability and multiple accessible amenities have also been included as a priority.

The opening day is planned for Saturday, February 28, with free entry from 12pm.

Visitors can enjoy music, fun and games, class demonstrations, food, giveaways and of course, swimming!

The $24.7 million project is funded through the SEQ Liveability Fund under the SEQ City Deal, with Logan City Council investing $15 million, alongside a combined $9.7 million in funding from the Australian Government and Queensland Government.
