Perth Leisure Pool

[3] Plans for a new sports centre, initially discussed a decade earlier, were started again.

[5][6] Councillor John L. Wilson presided over the development of the facility,[7] and it was opened by Anne, Princess Royal, on 29 July 1988.

The complex includes five swimming pools with flumes, bubble beds and other water features;[8] a gym,[9] health spa, cafe, creche and outdoor children's play area.

In August 2002,[10] there was an outbreak of cryptosporidiosis at the pool, which caused gastrointestinal illness for 74 people.

[12] Numerous improvements to the cleaning and water treatment processes were recommended by the Outbreak Control Team and these were made prior to the reopening of the centre.
