Beatty Park
Beatty Park Leisure Centre is a swimming pool complex in the suburb of North Perth, Western Australia. The centre was built for the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games as the major swimming event venue, along with the Perry Lakes Stadium athletics complex.
The centre was refurbished in 1994 to include creche, spa and gymnasium facilities as well as several indoor pools. It has spectator seating for approximately 5,000 people and is administered by the Town of Vincent.
As of 2011 the Park has begun major redevelopment to the sum of $17 Million.
Prior to its construction, the area was part of a large reserve of the same name.
