When the previous stadium was scheduled for demolition, Parramatta Memorial Swimming Club was also demolished to make way for the expanded stadium. It was replaced by the Parramatta Aquatic Centre, built on vacant Parramatta Park Trust space that hosted the 9 hole Parramatta Golf Course until the member funded club went into administration and closed in 2015.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Kembrey|first=Melanie|date=2016-04-06|title=Parramatta's only pool to be demolished to make way for a new sports stadium|url=https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/parramattas-only-pool-to-be-demolished-to-make-way-for-a-new-sports-stadium-20160405-gnyq82.html|access-date=2021-12-01|website=The Sydney Morning Herald|language=en}}</ref>
