Former swimming facility in Perth, Western Australia
Crawley Baths c. 1920–1929
Crawley Baths was a public swimming facility, in Matilda Bay, near Crawley, Western Australia along Mounts Bay Road. The timber structure was opened on 7 February 1914.[1] The opening ceremony was conducted by Premier John Scaddan and included a swimming carnival and life saving displays.[2]
The baths were the largest enclosed body of water in the southern hemisphere and were an important recreational facility in Perth for fifty years.[2] They were demolished in 1964 after Beatty Park was built for the 1962 Commonwealth Games.
A bronze statue Eliza commemorates the baths and stands in the river near its former location.
