Recreation centre in Western Australia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cockburn Aquatic and Recreation Centre (commonly known as Cockburn ARC) is an aquatic and recreation centre located in the southern Perth suburb of Cockburn Central. The facility also contains the administrative and training headquarters of professional Australian Football League club the Fremantle Football Club.
The ARC is owned and operated by the City of Cockburn which provides community access to most of the facilities. There are indoor and outdoor aquatic facilities as well as basketball courts. Swim, fitness and sports classes are available. The centre features three water slides that opened in May 2017.[1]
After being previously based at Fremantle Oval, in February 2015 the Fremantle Football Club announced that it would move to the new facility.[2] Construction of the $109 million facility began later that year.[3] The major features of the facility include:[4]
The Dockers moved into the 6,000 m2 (65,000 sq ft) facility in February 2017.[6] The Victor George Kailis name is in recognition of one of the club's founding member families, who were regular donors to the Fremantle Dockers Foundation.[7] The venue hosted its first inter-club match in February 2023, when Fremantle played Adelaide in a pre-season practice match.[8]
