Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, Sports complex in Albert Park, Australia

The Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre is a comprehensive sports facility in Albert Park featuring multiple pools, sports halls, and diving facilities. The complex combines indoor and outdoor areas accommodating various water sports and training activities.

Opened on 24 July 1997 at a cost of A$65 million, funded by the State Government of Victoria and the City of Port Phillip. In 2002 an expansion was announced for the 2006 Commonwealth Games; work began in September 2003 and the A$51 million Stage 2, adding a hydrotherapy pool and a 50-metre outdoor pool, opened in early 2006. The venue hosted swimming, diving, squash and table tennis at those Games and diving and water polo at the 2007 World Aquatics Championships.

The center serves as a key training ground for athletes ranging from community participants to international competitors. It plays a central role in the region's sports development and competition programs.

Tram routes 12 and 96 pass near Southern Cross station and the city centre, and a light rail stop of the same name on Canterbury Road sits about 100 metres from the entrance. The centre is one of four venues run under the State Sport Centres banner by the State Sports Centres Trust.

The outdoor 50-meter pool features an adjustable floor that changes water depth to suit different sporting disciplines. This allows trainers to adapt the facility for multiple needs within a single venue.
