Construction of the $55 million Oran Park Leisure Centre is one step closer after Camden Council accepted a tender for the works at this week’s ordinary meeting.

Oran Park Leisure Centre will be built on a site at Central Avenue. Council says it will be a significant addition to the precinct surrounding the site.

Features of the centre include a 50-metre indoor swimming pool, leisure pool, learn-to-swim pool, spa and sauna, four indoor courts, gymnasium, cafe, creche facilities and a basement carpark.

“Council has worked hard on providing the community with high quality sport and recreation facilities across the Camden area and Oran Park Leisure Centre will add to our growing list,” says the Mayor of Camden, Cr Therese Fedeli said.

“Our community cannot wait for Oran Park Leisure Centre to be completed as it will be home to an Olympic-sized swimming pool which will not only better serve our residents, but also give young children the chance to train to become Australia’s next great Olympian.”

The leisure centre will add to a range of state-of-the-art sporting facilities in the Camden area, including Narellan sports hub, the Kirkham Park BMX facility and the area’s first synthetic football field at Nott Oval.

This project is being delivered in partnership with Greenfields Development Company.

“This is another exciting facility coming to life in the Oran Park town centre,” says Greenfields Development company general manager Mick Owens.

“We are continually grateful to be working and co-funding with Camden Council this world class leisure centre and other projects.”

The facility has an estimated completion date of mid to late 2024.
