In February 2025, the City of Canning commenced renovations to the Cannington and Riverton Leisureplexes, making major improvements to the popular community facilities that welcome over 1.5 million visitors per year.
These are the first major renovations for the leisure centres, which are now over 20 years old, and will ensure that our centres retain their position as modern and welcoming fitness and recreational centres that serve City of Canning residents and visitors.
The works are expected to run from February through to September, and the City will endeavour to keep disruptions to services and customers to a minimum.
Areas affected by the renovations
Riverton Leisureplex
- The Wellness Suite will be closed from 3 February to September. During this time, we will be replacing tiling, grouting, spa blowers and jets in the spa pool, and the program pool filter and liner. We will also be refurbishing the Accessibility changerooms and installing a new, improved HVAC system.
- The Aquatics Women’s and Family changerooms will be closed from 3 February to September for major renovations, including the addition of a new family/accessibility changeroom, showers and change cubicles. Customers can use the changerooms at the gym, Bill Cole Function Centre and F.I.I.T. Factory.
Cannington Leisureplex
- The Male, Female and Accessible Changerooms adjacent to the pool will be closed from 3 February to July for refurbishment, including the installation of new showers and toilet cubicles. Due to this the Wellness suite will be closed during the week, but will reopen for limited use from Fridays at 4pm to Sundays at 6pm. Customers can use the toilets and changerooms located at the gym.
- The Concourse area on northern side of the 25-metre pool, from the accessible changerooms to the end of the pool, will be boarded up and access will be limited as we refurbish the tiled wall that had sustained water damage.
Rehab and recovery alternatives while the Wellness Suite is closed
If you rely on the Wellness Suite for rehabilitation, relaxation, or recovery, there are still plenty of great ways to continue your wellness routine:
- Water-Based Rehab: The Leisure Pool remains open, offering aqua walking, gentle swimming, and hydrotherapy movements to support joint health and recovery. Walking lanes are available in 25m and 50m pools.
- Yoga and Pilates Classes: Improve flexibility, core strength, and balance with low-impact movement tailored to rehabilitation needs.
- Stretch and Mobility Classes: These classes focus on gentle stretching, breathing, and muscle activation, perfect for post-injury recovery.
- Technogym App Rehab Workouts: Access guided mobility, stretching, and rehab-friendly workouts from home or use Technogym’s connected equipment at our gym. Please check with staff regarding app access with your membership.
- Low-Impact Gym Options: Consider using the treadmill or recumbent bike for circulation improvement or try foam rolling and self-massage techniques to relieve muscle tension.
Even with the Wellness Suite temporarily closed, there are many ways to stay active, recover, and improve your well-being. We encourage you to explore these alternatives and make the most of everything the Leisureplex has to offer!
We appreciate your patience as we work to enhance your experience. Thank you for being part of our Leisureplex community – we can’t wait to unveil these fantastic upgrades!
