Hornsby aquatic complex features indoor and outdoor pools, recreation amenities, and community wellness offerings in a modern, accessible facility.
Approaching the Hornsby Aquatic and Leisure Centre, the contemporary facade featuring expansive glazing establishes a connection to the interior while allowing abundant natural light to flood the pools. The curved roof structure adds fluidity, directing attention to the entrance.
The 50-meter outdoor pool is covered by an exposed steel truss system that draws attention upwards inside the center. The industrial details lend an airy, modern feel while the trusses structurally enable the column-free spans enclosing the aquatic areas.
The 10x25m indoor pool hall provides ample space for lessons, therapy and general swimming. The pool depth increases incrementally from a 0” beach entry to maximize functionality. Adjacent to the halls sits the leisure pool, outfitted with kid-friendly elements like interactive water features, tipping buckets and a winding waterslide culminating in a fun splashdown.
The facility promotes health, wellness and social connection for all ages and ability levels within the Hornsby community. The variety of amenities engage users with the center long after their swim. From multipurpose rooms to a fully-equipped gym with studio space, visitors continue their activities out of the pool.
