Re: Sea Point Pavillion, 1977
pool and surounding building is still there. the round building with the adjacent extention is where HardRock Cafe was. this part is demolished after HardRock Cafe closed and a dodgy games shop/pool hall opened. the comunity had it closed down coz it drew a very bad ellement. its just an open paved area now

As farhaard says.... the pool is still there, but the buildings are now open public space.

Re: Sea Point Pavillion, 1977
The Hard Rock as it was then, was closed after it was bombed in that spate of bombings that occured in Cape Town from 1998 to 2000 the most famous of which, but not the most deadly, was Planet Hollywood in the waterfront. Talk about drawing a bad element...Farhaad wrote:pool and surounding building is still there. the round building with the adjacent extention is where HardRock Cafe was. this part is demolished after HardRock Cafe closed and a dodgy games shop/pool hall opened. the comunity had it closed down coz it drew a very bad ellement. its just an open paved area now

By the look of Ron's post, even the pools have been completely rebuilt.
On a second look the seem to have made the deep water pool a stand alone pool. See the =/- 6 metre diving board at the pool on the left.
