Crawley Baths, Public swimming facility in Matilda Bay, Western Australia.

Crawley Baths was a wooden swimming complex built directly into the Swan River in Perth, featuring 106 dressing boxes, two pontoons, springboards, and a moveable grandstand positioned along Mounts Bay Road. The design allowed swimmers to enjoy the natural bay while providing modern infrastructure for training and competitive events.

The facility opened in February 1914 under Premier John Scaddan and remained in operation until 1964, when Beatty Park was completed for the Commonwealth Games. This transition marked the end of an era of public bathing in the bay and shifted swimming activities to a modern stadium facility.

The opening on 7 February 1914 featured a swimming carnival and life-saving displays led by Premier John Scaddan. For fifty years the baths hosted such carnivals and drew children's swimming lessons, as a 1936 Sunday Times photograph shows. The bronze statue Eliza, by Tony Jones and Ben Jones, now stands in the Swan River near the former site.

The former site is marked by a bronze statue named Eliza standing in the Swan River near Mounts Bay Road, serving as a point of reference for visitors. This waterfront location remains easily accessible from the road, allowing you to stand at the same spot and imagine the former swimming complex.
