Arrival at Huntly Aquatic Centre

Vehicle access to the Huntly Aquatic Centre is from Wight Street, and there is parking available outside the facility along this street as well as accessible parking on the western side of the building, which also has ramp access to the aquatic centre.

The building is a low-set, blue building with yellow features and is situated in a suburban area close to parkland, sports fields, and backing onto a lake. There is signage on the front wall detailing the name of the facility.

Surrounding the Huntly Aquatic Center is a spacious green field. The property is enclosed in a black, see-through, chain-link fence. Inside the property is a two-seating area with a roof, trees without much foliage, and a lake at the back. Right outside the fence are two circular gardens containing a variety of plants. A cemented pathway separates the parking space in front and the green field of the centre.
View of the parking area of the Aquatic Centre along the road of Wight Street, where several cars are parked. The low-set blue building can be seen in the background, with numerous trees located in the far right corner. There is a small white signage on the front blue wall detailing the name of the facility and a red, teardrop-shaped flag at the entryway to the facility.
A closer look at the entrance leading to the Huntly Aquatic Centre. A dark grey pathway with steel handrails connects the sidewalk to the main glass entrance doors of the center. Small square glass windows are placed alongside the front wall of the center. Cars are parked in front, and to the back is a white car. The landscape of the area is well maintained as grasses are at the same height and can be distinguished by a yellow marking on the side.

The main entrance has two glass doors lined with white painted panels, with the right door open. The small glass windows on the blue-painted wall to the left are slightly open. Grey, black, red, and white cars are parked in front. Residential buildings are noticeable in the far right corner of the image.

Throughout Huntly Aquatic Centre

The entrance to the pool is through outward-opening glass doors and leads to the reception area with a small retail offering. To the right is a small pool and a children's splash area. There is another small pool to the left of the reception, which has ramp access.

The large pool is further along and has steps with handrails. There are four unisex toilets, as well as changing rooms for men and women, and one accessible toilet. Staff wearing a combined yellow and red shirt are positioned within the pool perimeter.

The ceiling features exposed wooden beams and a corrugated roof. Adjacent to the changing rooms, there is a fully equipped gym with cardio and weight equipment.

The image shows the double entrance glass doors, the reception desk, and the two pools. On the side of the reception desk are two young lifeguard males wearing orange and yellow uniforms. There is an adequate space that allows access surrounding each pool. Opposite to the two lifeguards is a pool with a 0.9-meter depth. The roof structure is made of corrugated iron and is well-lit with fluorescent lighting.
Front view of the white-to-grey reception desk area inside the Huntly Aquatic Centre. The reception area offers swimwear and other gear for sale. A water-like blue wall and a small office space at the back distinguish the reception area. On the left is a whiteboard with documents hanging next to a fire extinguisher. On the right are two pools with blue floating rope lanes, a string of blue triangular flags, and large, brown wooden frames that light the ceiling.
View of the small pool and children's splash area. Huge posters with kids swimming can be seen placed on top of the white wall to the back. A rolled waterproof sheet can be seen at one end of the pool. Near the exit glass doors are two hanging cabinets. Large glass windows on the side allow an appropriate amount of natural light to pass through and give natural scenery of the trees outside. Long brown benches are available throughout the surrounding area of the small pool.
A closer view of the ramp access with steel handrails of another small pool in Huntly Aquatic Centre. The ceiling has brown wooden support beams that support the white corrugated roof. Next to this small pool is a large pool with blue and white floating rope lanes. Four ladder accesses are marked by an inverted “U” steel frame on the pool sides. Long rows of low brown benches are placed near the large pool.
