Keilor East Leisure Centre Visual Story

The Keilor East Leisure Centre, situated off Quinn Grove, is a sizable grey-and-white building with a glass facade, recognizable by the 'MOVE' signage at the entrance. The car park provides various accessible car parking spaces adjacent to the centre's entrance, with step-free access.

A designated taxi drop-off and pick-up zone is positioned in front of the building, also offering step-free access to the curb and footpath.

The Aquatic facility is directly ahead of the main entrance, accessible through the turnstile gates. Upon entering, the Water Play area is straight ahead, featuring colorful floors, sprinklers, showers, hoops, and a slide.

To the left are the unisex Bathroom/Change Room and Lockers. Continuing left leads to the Aquatic Wellness Area, accessible through a glass door. Adjacent is the Learn to Swim Pool, equipped with a ramp with handrails.

To the right from the entrance is the 25m lap pool with a ramp and handrails. Despite water movement and sound, the area is spacious. Aquatic wheelchairs and accessible toilets are provided.

To access the Gym at Keilor East Leisure Centre, turn right from the main entrance and enter through a manual glass door at the end of the lobby, marked by a blue wall. On the right is the Cycle Studio with rows of stationary bikes, while lockers are on the left.

At the end of the corridor is another glass door leading to the Health Studio, a large room with black and blue rubber tiles. Here, cardio machines including treadmills, bench machines, Smith machines, and stationary bikes are lined up.

Free weights and kettlebells are arranged near the wall, with an accessible bathroom and showers also available.

Keilor East Leisure Centre has introduced new accessibility equipment to support swimmers with mobility issues, offering an alternative to pool steps or ramps. The Pool Pod Platform provides independent access to the water and is constructed from stainless steel, powered by rechargeable batteries. 

The back of the Pool Pod has an automatic door that works like passenger lift doors. Three sets of controls are located on the deck, on the platform, and in the pool. A wheelchair locks automatically in place when positioned on the platform. With a lifting capacity of 250kg, it can carry two users at once, and its two foldable seats allow for either two seated users or one seated user with a wheelchair.
