1 / 3Kensington Community Aquatic and Recreation Centre
📍 Kensington, VIC
Brand-new aquatic and recreation facility in Kensington with a lap pool, learn-to-swim pool, warm-water program pool, gym, group fitness, six multi-purpose courts, and childcare.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
A well-resourced facility that has not resolved its opening-period operational problems. Families who pay casual entry and find the children's area closed without warning, or members charged without clear authorisation, will have a frustrating visit.
ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go
Overview
Kensington Community Aquatic and Recreation Centre opened late 2025 as a $70m facility anchored by a 25m lap pool, warm-water program pool, children's pool, and six multi-purpose sports courts. A gym, group fitness studio, childcare, and women's-only swim sessions round out the offer. Reviewers on early memberships report the children's pool closing unannounced, 24-hour gym access not live as of opening, and billing disputes where charges appeared without confirmed payment authorisation.
