Hornsby Olympic Pool/Hornsby Aquatic Centre

In March 1935 Hornsby Councillor T E Rofe raised the subject at a Council meeting that Hornsby needed a suitable public swimming baths, which would serve an immense population in a growing Shire. He mentioned this could be built for under £10,000.
It was not until 27 years later in 1962 that his vision was realised when the Hornsby Olympic Swimming Pool was opened in Hornsby Park.
The pool was refurbished in 1995. However, due to its gradual deterioration, the complex was closed in December 2010 to make way for its demolition and construction of a new $27 million Aquatic Centre that was officially opened by Prime Minister Tony Abbot on 22nd November 2014.
