Splashin' good time for the kids!
Make a SPLASH all summer long with our Summer Splash series at Coastlands Aquatic Centre, Waikanae Pools and Ōtaki Pool until 29 January.
Join us daily 1–4.30pm for holiday fun in the pools. Get your tamariki testing their skills on the inflatables to see who makes the biggest splash in the bomb zone! It'll be a splashing good time!
Note Ōtaki Pool is closed tomorrow, 1 January, but both our splash pads and other pools will be open.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
