When it's cold outside - exercise indoors!

Prairiewood boasts a 25m indoor pool (six Lanes) with freeform and 'beach' style entry.

Fairfield City's Leisure Centres provide residents with the opportunity to avoid the cold this winter and maintain their health and fitness, with well-equipped, modern and warm facilities.

The three Leisure Centres – at Fairfield, Prairiewood and Cabravale – offer a wide variety of programs and facilities that appeal to people of all ages and interests.

Facilities include heated indoor and outdoor swimming pools, gymnasiums, sauna and steam rooms, group fitness studios, a sports hall, and community meeting rooms.

Each Centre offers learn-to-swim classes, exercise consultations, personal training, group fitness classes, specialised classes for seniors, and child minding (Fairfield and Prairiewood only).

Prairiewood boasts a 25m indoor pool (six Lanes) with freeform and 'beach' style entry with railing to assist with ease of access. The pool is solar heated (backed up by boiler system running on gas) to 28 degrees C. Prairiewood also has a 50m outdoor heated Pool (which will also soon be solar).

Fairfield has a six-lane, 25m indoor pool, which is heated to 29 degrees C. It, too, is solar backed up by heat pumps. The facility's 50m outdoor pool is not heated (summer season only).

Cabravale has a five-lane, 20m indoor pool heated to 31 degrees (heat pumps backed up by gas boilers). The pool has steps to assist entry.

For those who prefer the fresh air despite the cool, our City has an extensive network of cycleways "shared paths", which give cyclists and pedestrians key acces to retail, industrial and cultural precincts.

The network provides three regional routes east/west across the City:

• Prospect Creek - connecting Holroyd City and Fairfield Town Centre
• Bay to Mountains - connecting Mirabeena Regional Park in Bankstown along Orphans School Creek to Prospect Reservoir
• Cabramatta Creek - linking King Park, Wakely, through to Cabramatta Road via St Johns Park. 

There also are two regional routes that travel north/west across the City:

• Rail Trail - along the rail corridor connecting to Liverpool and Parramatta
• T-Way Cycle-way route

Council has also built a range of linked local shared paths and circuit paths to cater for community demand for informal recreation spaces and equipment.

Facilities along the network of shared paths include Fitness Equipment, which has been installed in 10 parks in recent years.

Council has invested heavily during the past 10 years in providing up-to-date children's play equipment at 155 locations in the 168 parks within Fairfield City.

The installation of these playgrounds has included planting shade trees to build the natural amenity of Fairfield City, provide shade for play experiences (starting with areas for young children) and to build a positive outdoor culture.
