Ashburton Pool & Recreation Centre, Melbourne

Melbourne's eastern suburbs certainly have no shortage of places to work out. The Ashburton Pool and Recreation Center is another name on a long list. Open 364 days a year (closed on Christmas Day) the center features a gymnasium, two-court sports stadium and activity rooms, as well as several indoor and outdoor pools. The adjustable floor of the multi-purpose pool can be raised to 0.9 meters for children's parties. The kids will also love the aqua playground with its wheels, levers and ropes, which give them control over water flows and directions.
