Published on 16 December 2022

The Whanganui East Pool, on Tinirau Street, is set to open for the 2023 summer season.

The pool complex includes a 33 metre outdoor pool, a learner pool, hydro slide, diving board and BBQ facilities. The pool will be open from midday on Monday, 9 January 2023.

“The pool was not open during the 2022 summer season and we know how much it was missed by our community. We are delighted to welcome a new team of lifeguards and are looking forward to the opening for the summer,” says Marianne Cavanagh, General Manager Community & Customer Experience.

A team from Community Corrections is currently undertaking general cleaning and maintenance, while pool and hydro slide safety checks have been ticked off, ready for the new season.

“The Whanganui East Pool provides a great space for Whanganui East residents, as well as the wider community to cool off, get active and spend some time together. The pool complex includes shade structures, but please remember to cover up with sunblock and a hat,“ says Lucy Thompson, Aquatic Services Manager.

Opening hours are Monday to Thursday, 10.00am to 6.00pm and Friday to Sunday, 10.00am to 5.00pm. There may be some variance on these times, so please visit the Splash Centre's Facebook page.

 Entry costs are: adults $4.00, children $3.00, $1.50 preschoolers and spectators and $11.00 for a family pass.
