Centenary Pool, Gregory Terrace, Spring Hill

A heritage listed swimming complex located on Gregory Terrace, Spring Hill, an inner-city suburb of Brisbane, Queensland. Containing a wading pool, Olympic size swimming pool and diving pool, it was designed by architect James Birrell and built in 1959. It marked celebrations for the centenary of local government in Brisbane after officially being separated from New South Wales in December 1859. The Centenary Pool was the first Olympic size standard pool in Brisbane and was built after swimming grew in popularity following the Olympic Games in Melbourne in 1956.
An up-market restaurant hovered above, looking down over the pools which was an inventive addition and raised its status within the community, but by 2009 was replaced by a gym and medical suites.
