“Together we have now secured the future of Australia’s oldest and most beautiful harbourside pool for generations to come.
"Thank you to all the supporters of Dawn Fraser Baths for helping to achieve this result." Darcy Byrne, Inner West Mayor
The heritage restoration of the Dawn Fraser Baths is now complete and the pool will reopen as soon as public health orders allow.
Find out more about the pool opening times and the activities on offer.
To celebrate the reopening, the community is invited to add to the archives collection by submitting copies of your historic photos and memorabilia of Australia's oldest pool. Please email Inner West Community History team at history@innerwest.nsw.gov.au or call Amie Zar on 9392 5817.
While the renovation of Dawn Fraser Pool is the latest example of Inner West grassroots activism, the community has a long track record of initiating change. The 2021 History Week - From the Ground up- will look at our community's past activism. Have a story or ephemera you'd like to share? Contact the Inner West History team.
