Beatty Park, Swimming center and heritage site in North Perth, Australia
Beatty Park is an aquatic center in North Perth with multiple pools designed for different purposes and modern fitness facilities. The grounds include spectator areas and are arranged as a multi-use complex for training and competitive events.
The facility opened in 1962 and served as the main venue for the British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Western Australia. Since then it has remained an important center for swimming in the region.
The place serves as a gathering point for swimming clubs and competitive teams who train regularly throughout the week. This active club culture shapes daily life at the center and builds a community around water sports.
The center offers swimming lessons for young children starting at 4 months old and has separate pools for different skill levels. Visitors should know that training groups regularly use the facility during daytime hours.
A geothermal heating system installed between 2011 and 2013 maintains water temperatures throughout the complex at optimal levels. This heating system works invisibly for visitors but significantly contributes to comfort while swimming.
