THE wait is almost over with the City of Cockburn’s grand new aquatic and recreation centre (ARC) to officially open on Monday, May 22.
Access to the $109 million facility built at Cockburn Central West will be open to a limited few over the two days prior, with the City offering a ticketed grand opening “discover” weekend.
Six sessions will be held over Saturday and Sunday, with visitors able to tackle the three world-class waterslides and aquatic areas, while staff will also provide information on the centre’s other programs and services.
