The South Lake Leisure Centre was a recreation centre that closed in 2017 after the Cockburn ARC replaced it.
The Department of Education handed it to the Lakeland Senior High School but apparently not much was done with it. Possibly because of all the trouble it attracted, esp from kids trashing the joint. The cops were apparently called out heaps as well as the School Watch security mob, who looked after the Lakeland school adjoining it. They were deadset getting the shits with all the callouts. Apparently and quite understandably.
Suddenly, demolition was announced at the end of January and we got word that it had started this week so we had to hit it up. Kinda sad, although I never went here as a kid, so many people I know have strong memories of their childhood coming here with their family and friends.

First time seeing a place i have memories at abandoned. Did swimming lessons as a kid here around 01/02. Moved interstate in 03/04. Had no idea it was abandoned and later demolished. Still have a certificate with the Playstation characters Jak and Daxter on it from South Lakes. Still remember the mushrooms and that hut thing.

This pool was built some time in the early 1990s. And I think it was by the same people who designed the pools for the Adelaide Aquatic Centre and Noarlunga Swimming Centre.
