Description

Winton’s Aquatic Centre features three public swimming pools to help Winton residents and visitors to cope with the sweltering summertime temperatures.

In a bold move to prioritise youth engagement in the town, Winton Shire Council, jointly funded by the Works for Queensland program, chose to expand the Aquatic Centre with the introduction of an aquatic playground.

Council’s vision for this space was to create a dedicated waterpark; they wanted something big with slides and elevated towers. The facility needed to be big enough not just for the local community but to create a drawcard for the whole region, attracting travellers from Longreach and all over Queensland to Winton to discover the town and to create ongoing economic and social benefits for the whole community.

Featuring 4 slides, net climbers, water cannons, a multitude of interactive elements and a mega dumping bucket at the top of the structure, the brightly coloured aquatower entices children to explore their whole environment and find their next challenge.

To cater for all ages and levels of adventure, the aquatic playground is also augmented with a toddler zone, featuring numerous ground sprayers and a rain cap mushroom for those users looking for a quieter experience.
