albany leisure centre

Find hours, contact details and information on the pools, gym and fitness at Albany Stadium Pool.

Albany Stadium Pool is designed for family fun and education. Although there is a lap swimming pool (20m) its priority first and foremost is for leisure and learning to swim.

Opened 28 January 2017 our exciting new leisure pool is full of fantastic interactive water features such as the over-the-pool climbing wall and splash pad! A great destination for families who want to have fun in the water, there’s inflatables and water cannons for people of all ages. Want to relax? We have a huge adult spa and sauna. In the mood to get active, we have a state-of-the-art fitness centre and small holistic group fitness classes.

Accessibility: We welcome everyone regardless of ability. Some pools have ramp entry and we have a disability hoist and water wheelchair onsite for access assistance into the spa and Leisure pool. There is also disabled access to the fitness centre via the lift.

Please note that hours may change due to staff availability. Keep an eye on our Facebook page and website alerts for any changes or give us a call before your visit.
