After much lobbying for a replacement pool for the dangerous Kororoit Creek Pool, Sunshine opened it's new 50m Olympic sized pool on the 22nd February 1961.

​

The pool has seen many children learn how to swim, it has been the scene of family days, teenage meeting spot and school's sporting carnivals.

​

During winter the pool was stocked with trout and used by the local fishing club.

​

Due to cracking, the first pool was demolished and the whole site redeveloped.

 

The new Sunshine Leisure Centre has a number of accessible features including;

​

• An eight lane, 25 metre indoor heated pool.

• An eight lane, 25 metre outdoor heated pool.

• An 20 metre program pool with ramp entry.

• An indoor leisure pool with beach entry and interactive water features.

• An outdoor DplasPad.

• A spa and steam room.

• A fully equipped 24 hour access gym with separate areas for group fitness and cycle.

• Virtual fitness

• Change room facilities catering for families, schools and people with a disability.

• Creche facilities with an outdoor play area.

• Centrally located cafe.
