Description / Background

Moss Vale War Memorial Aquatic Centre is a community swimming complex, with a fitness centre. It was opened on 30 November 2013 in honour of all those who have served.

This modern facility replaces the original Moss Vale Memorial Swimming Pool, which was opened in 1965. The original opening plaque hangs inside the foyer of the new building. 

On a wall overlooking the indoor pools, is a commemorative artwork by artist Thomas Bucich. It features three large metal poppies, flanking the words 'We remember them'. The piece was unveiled on 11 November 2015.
