Perth Superdrome, Multi-purpose sports complex in Mount Claremont, Australia
Perth Superdrome is a multi-sport facility in Mount Claremont, Western Australia, built around a group of swimming pools, a diving tower, gymnasiums, and basketball courts. The complex is set up to Olympic standard, making it one of the most complete training centers in the state.
The facility opened in 1986 under the name Claremont Superdrome and over the following decades grew into a nationally recognized training center. It hosted major international swimming competitions and has served athletes from a wide range of sports ever since.
Swimming clubs and community sports groups use this venue regularly for training, making it a working sports hub rather than a spectator-only space. Visitors who come during the day can often watch athletes train in the pools or on the courts.
The complex has on-site parking and is reachable by public transport from central Perth. It is worth checking in advance whether training sessions or events are scheduled, as some areas may be closed to the general public on certain days.
Although the complex sits in Mount Claremont, it was named after the neighboring suburb of Claremont when it opened, which is why the original name stuck in local memory for years. That small geographic mix-up is still sometimes heard in conversations around Perth today.
