North Perth Real Estate History – Beatty Park Turns 60

Home buyers in North Perth would likely be familiar with local leisure centre Beatty Park but how well do you know the history? Purpose built in 1962 for the Empire and Commonwealth Games. The pools were opened to the public just three days after the games and became a popular venue for families in North Perth and surrounding areas.

Did you also know that Beatty Park was a concert venue for acts touring Perth in the 1960s and 70s? It hosted the Bee Gees, Deep Purple, The Jackson 5 and Santana with concert goers swimming in the pool to famous tunes such Smoke on the Water.
