Fawkner Leisure Centre - Fawkner (VIC)

1 /5 Bill Admond: They renewed the pool but someone incompetent approved the plans because these uneducated people dont know that there are disabled people! Firstly, parking for disabled people is nealy impossible because they eliminated the 3-4 disable parking spots that were within the compound. Parking spots outside are all taken because there is the water gym group and the kids group so these people accupy all spots. Then you go inside, no sorry you cant walk that why, youve to go the other way around (Im disabled!) because there is the water gym group! The big swimming pool is occupied and restricted because there is the water gym group, as well as the small pool is restricted because there is the kids leisure group!!! The water temperature is way too cold and I had to keep all my body inside the water because the wind from the air conditoning system made me even colder. The access to the pool by the steps is way too wide so a disabled person may only use ONE handrail but I needed two handrails, left and right because I cannot walk properly! Ther are NO pool noodles available! There are only TWO toilets that a disabled person may use for shower so once they are taken, youre out of luck! They made this place with huge corridors and huge coffee/breakfast area but they didnt care about disabled people. A waste of money good only for a few HEALTHY people!

3 /5 Brent Coker: Before the council spent money on the upgrade (thank you), there was a veterans board showing long standing members names ("member for 10 years", etc). This was great for keeping the local community together and active. But there is a bug in the enrolment system now so that it doesnt let anyone already registered in the past use the same email address to register again (you have to use a new email address) - so that members board system is destroyed since everyone starts from zero again. Shame - it was a very good system. The other problem I see is THE SIZE OF THE GYM! Its TINY! I dont blame the architect - since all plans need to get approved by someone. I really miss the OLD gym - it was a good size and could fit everyone. PLEASE - is there any chance of increasing the size of the gym? Knock out a wall or 2? Honestly its ridiculously small - Im sure you know this. Its people squashed into a small space bumping into each other. Im pretty annoyed about that. There is Als gym, but its not for everyone, so there really isnt a good gym within reach now. Market opportunity for someone else I guess. No use blaming whoever it was that placed priority on other rooms over the gym size - lets move on and just make that gym bigger with what we have aye..

5 /5 Aqeel Shah: this community hall is one of the est to hold small community events. huge free parking is available around and big parking space is also there. theres a big park outside to the kids can play while their parents can enjoy some event. reasonable charges to book this place but if you are looking to book it for your events please decide at your earliest as its not easy to get it on weekends. kitchen facility is also available which is well equipped for all your needs. there are different entrances to the hall to cater tour needs both side parking is available

5 /5 Deanhna Culshaw: Wow. Wonderful staff helpful and the centre is very modern and clean. Best HEATED CHANGING FACILITIES. They even have a small Cafe with coffee cakes and sandwiches. No too many people Wonderful

2 /5 Jay: Water temperature is way too cold, my 9 month old son was freezing, we were only in for ten minutes. I was advised it was a heated pool which is why we went in the first place.
