<div class="block-wrapper" data-block-id="711710b8-2500-4173-9807-9e76c4a6e7b1"><h2>What a weekend!</h2></div> <div class="block-wrapper" data-block-id="485956b7-5ad1-45b5-901f-f7a73a029c42"><p>On Saturday, October 10th, we officially opened the doors to the brand-new <strong>Payneham Memorial Swimming Centre</strong>. Running from 11am to 4:30pm, the community certainly showed up to celebrate with free entry and a range of kids activities.<br /><br />Following an official opening ceremony led by the Premier of South Australia, Peter Malinauskas, we welcomed an incredible 2,474 patrons across three packed sessions. Guests were the first to experience the upgraded facilities, which feature three new pools, two waterslides, and a splash play area. The splash park quickly emerged as a crowd favourite, and there was plenty of fun to be had on the new giant slides.</p></div> <div class="block-wrapper" data-block-id="1278eed7-915e-4046-b31e-318f7fa57057"> <div class="gallery"> <div class="gallery-viewport"> <div class="gallery-track"><div class="gallery-slide" data-slide-index="0"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6a581ba22360c08bde71a3e5/6ad59dadb50af630fda9e5ab_28.png" alt="Premier of South Australia, Peter Malinauskas" /></div><div class="gallery-slide" data-slide-index="1"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6a581ba22360c08bde71a3e5/6ad59db7a236ca186a8cd63d_29.png" alt="" /></div><div class="gallery-slide" data-slide-index="2"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6a581ba22360c08bde71a3e5/6ad59dc08db9fb0f3d938468_31.png" alt="" /></div><div class="gallery-slide" data-slide-index="3"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6a581ba22360c08bde71a3e5/6ad59dcda906f9d7313c2e55_30.png" alt="" /></div></div> <button class="gallery-arrow gallery-arrow-prev" aria-label="Previous image"><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="20" height="20" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2.5" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"><polyline points="15 18 9 12 15 6"></polyline></svg></button> <button class="gallery-arrow gallery-arrow-next" aria-label="Next image"><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="20" height="20" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2.5" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"><polyline points="9 18 15 12 9 6"></polyline></svg></button> </div> <div class="gallery-dots"><button class="gallery-dot" data-slide-index="0" data-active="true" aria-label="Go to image 1"></button><button class="gallery-dot" data-slide-index="1" aria-label="Go to image 2"></button><button class="gallery-dot" data-slide-index="2" aria-label="Go to image 3"></button><button class="gallery-dot" data-slide-index="3" aria-label="Go to image 4"></button></div> </div></div> <div class="block-wrapper" data-block-id="c0ffd6d2-7c91-495a-8b21-b989d82ea959"><br /></div> <div class="block-wrapper" data-block-id="78c3a136-e185-4aca-a314-1d5a038f9cfa"><p><strong>Beyond the water</strong>, attendees were treated to a massive lineup of entertainment.
