Community drop-in sessions

Connecting with our community is at the heart of Inner West Aquatics and Recreation. The local knowledge, stories and ideas shared by our community help shape welcoming, inclusive spaces where everyone can take part, feel supported and enjoy the best possible experience.

We hold pop up desks, as well as morning and afternoon teas at our Aquatic Centres throughout the year. These informal gatherings are a great opportunity to meet other members, get to know our staff, and find out about upcoming programs. Please see the event schedule below for our upcoming sessions.

Pop-up desks

Our pop up desks are held during the second week of every month at varying times at our three major centres; Annette Kellerman Aquatic Centre, Ashfield Aquatic Centre, and Leichhardt Park Aquatic Centre.  These desks are a great opportunity to meet our Customer Service Team Leaders and to tell us what you'd like to see at our centres. Our next pop up desks will be held on the following dates:

  • Friday 17 April 2026, 12.30pm to 2.30pm
  • Wednesday 13 Mary 2026, 2.30pm to 4.30pm
