John Holland Memorial Baths

Added on February 11, 2020 by David Watson.

Rozelle’s new 50-metre municipal pool at the corner of Callan Street and Victoria Road opens this weekend. 

'With Dawn Fraser Baths currently closed for major renovation, and Drummoyne Pool over-run by school swimming carnivals every week-day in February, the John Holland Memorial Baths, frankly, couldn’t have come on line at a better time’, says Callan Street’s David Watson, speaking on behalf of 20 or so local lap-swimmers.

The new facility is a ‘thank-you’ from the NSW Government to the much-beleaguered NW Rozelle community, whose mental health and air quality has already deteriorated despite the fact that tunnelling for the Iron Cove Link is yet to commence, and whose lives and sleep patterns face severe disruption over the next six years due to the construction of the Rozelle Interchange.

The baths - free to Inner West ratepayers and residents - are being underwritten by joint-venture partners John Holland in return for naming rights.
