KATHERINE AQUATIC CENTRE

Public BBQ

Katherine Aquatic Centre emerges as an unexpected oasis in the Northern Territory heat, where crystal-clear waters and immaculate grounds provide respite when temperatures soar to 30°C. The facility centres around a pristine 50-metre pool that attracts serious swimmers and families alike, its water maintained at a comfortable 26°C that locals might find tepid but visitors find refreshing. Multiple swimming areas accommodate various needs, from structured lessons for school groups to leisurely laps in the main pool. The grounds feature abundant shaded areas perfect for escaping the harsh Territory sun, complemented by BBQ facilities included with admission. Staff demonstrate genuine warmth, allowing flexible use of different areas when demand permits. The centre's accessibility features ensure all visitors can enjoy the facilities, though some amenities show signs of age. What strikes many visitors is the reasonable pricing and the sense of having discovered a community treasure that Katherine couldn't survive without.
