Willoughby celebrates Northbridge Baths’ 100th year

Willoughby City Council < 1 mins read

Willoughby City Council has marked the 100th anniversary of the opening of Northbridge Baths, celebrating a century of enjoyment for the local community and one of Sydney’s most iconic leisure spots.

The Northbridge Baths 100th Anniversary celebration concluded this year’s Emerge Festival and delivered a memorable occasion for local residents and swimmers along with a celebration and activities for visitors and attendees.

The occasion began with an acknowledgement of the timeless Aboriginal history of the Baths, marked by a Welcome to Country by Auntie Jean Moran. Attendees were then taken back in time as a 1920s swing band played tunes from the Bath’s early era.

Mayor Tanya Taylor officially opened the event with reflections on the Baths' rich history and enduring significance to the community.

“Celebrating the 100th anniversary of Northbridge Baths was a special opportunity for Willoughby residents to bask in the spring weather while also learning about the unique history of our precious swimming spot”, said Mayor Taylor.

“It was great to come together as a community to celebrate such a significant milestone and recognise how important Northbridge Baths is for Willoughby.”
