Centenary Pool Complex

Centenary Pool Complex is a public aquatic facility built in 1959 in Spring Hill featuring a 50-meter lap pool, diving tower, shallow wading area, spectator seating, and integrated bathhouse. The site also contains dining facilities and is located along Gregory Terrace.

Brisbane City Council built this Olympic-standard center in 1959 to mark 100 years of local government and Queensland's separation from New South Wales. The construction reflected the city's commitment to developing modern public facilities during a period of expansion.

The design reflects 1950s modernism and shows how forward-thinking architecture shaped public spaces in post-war Australia. This style became a symbol of the city's ambition and progress during that era.

The facility opens daily and welcomes both casual swimmers and those training for competition. Check ahead to understand which areas may be reserved for lessons or training at any given time.

The complex has underwater observation windows built into the structure that let coaches watch swimmers' movements from below the water surface. This technical feature was innovative for coaching and training when the facility was designed.
