• Children under 12 years must be accompanied into the centre by a responsible adult (16 years and over)  and supervised within line of sight at all times.

• The centre has an Adult accessible changeroom, with adjustable hand basin, hoist and wash down bed
• 4 x Wet wheelchairs and ramps to all pools
• A portable hoist for all pools and spa

We are proud to host many fantastic events at the Mandurah Recreation Centres.

At times these events do affect what pool space is available to the community. As we know what events are booked in, we will post updates here.

Would you like to host your event here? Our facilities bookings team are happy to answer any questions you may have.
