Crawley Baths, Public swimming facility in Matilda Bay, Western Australia.
The wooden swimming complex featured 106 dressing boxes, two pontoons, springboards, and a moveable grandstand along Mounts Bay Road in Perth.
Opened in February 1914 by Premier John Scaddan, Crawley Baths remained active until 1964 when Beatty Park opened for Commonwealth Games.
The facility served as the main swimming and competition venue in Perth, where generations of Western Australian children learned water skills.
The location of former Crawley Baths is marked by a bronze statue named Eliza, standing in the Swan River near Mounts Bay Road.
During its time, Crawley Baths contained the largest enclosed water space in the Southern Hemisphere, serving Perth residents for five decades.
