Recreation centres

The City of Melbourne is home to five recreation centres. Each plays a unique role in their local community. 

A group of older women participate in an exercise class. The woman who is in focus is wearing a t-shirt that reads "Melbourne City Baths".

Across our five centres, we provide access to a variety of programs and services. These include fitness and swim facilities, as well as accessible programs, culturally sensitive programs and stadiums.

We provide a variety of memberships to suit your needs, as well as casual entry.

Take a look at our centres below to see what each of our unique venues has to offer.
