Beaurepaire Centre, Heritage sports facility in Parkville, Australia.

The Beaurepaire Centre features a 25-meter tiled swimming pool, gymnasium, trophy hall, and administrative offices within a cream-colored brick structure.

The complex opened in 1957 with funding from Sir Frank Beaurepaire, serving as a training venue during the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne.

The trophy hall contains a floor-to-ceiling mural frieze called 'Symmetry of Sport' by Leonard French, finished in enamel paint on cement.

Located at 156-292 Grattan Street within the University of Melbourne campus, the center maintains facilities for swimming and physical education programs.

The Greek Orthodox community donated a bronze Zeus statue in 1958, which stands at the top of the stairs leading to the trophy hall.
