Reopened poolmakes a splash

South Hedland Aquatic Centre was a hive of activity last week as hundreds of community members converged on the newly upgraded facility to celebrate its official grand opening.

The free Family Fun Day was organised by the YMCA and the Town of Port Hedland to coincide with Australia Day festivities.

In true-blue style, the afternoon included a sausage sizzle, inflatables, games and music.

Over the past year, the Town has replaced filters, pumps and piping, conducted water testing, reinstalled an improved aqua tower and additional chemical sensors, as well as making other technical and system improvements.

The aquatic centre will now remain open for the public to enjoy.
