Drive up, jump out, dive in! The Southland Aquatic Centre – Splash Palace – is one of the top public pool facilities in New Zealand. The indoor aquatic centre is within walking distance of the central business district and close to a large selection of motels and parks.
Easter, Southland Anniversary, and ANZAC Day all fall within the same week this year – so we’re making this school holidays one to remember!
What’s On?
- Virtual Easter Egg Hunts – Correctly spot the hidden bunnies on Facebook when each virtual hunt is released for a chance to win a double swim pass.
- Physical Easter Egg Hunt (Saturday 19 April)* – Lots of Cadbury chocolate bunnies will be hidden throughout the facility all day. Hunt one down and it’s yours to enjoy!
- Colouring-in Competition – Pick up an Easter colouring-in competition at reception, get creative, and go in the draw to win a café/retail goodie bag.
- Splash n Dash Zones* – Hydroslides or inflatables will be available for extra fun.
- Café Deal – Treat yourself to a mouth-watering Biscoff-stuffed Hot Cross Bun, only for $3.50 with any coffee purchase.
*Subject to staffing and pool space availability.
Facility Update
Our Learners Pool area will be temporarily closed during the April school holidays, as we undertake some maintenance work in this part of our facility.
We will be replacing some broken tiles, and also undertaking some painting within this part of the pool. This will be the first time this type of work has been carried out in the Learners Pool area, since opening in 2005.
We try to keep our facility running without interruption as much as possible while undertaking maintenance work, but in this case it’s simply not possible. This work is better completed while the pool area is closed, to ensure maintenance can be completed within the tight timeframe of the holiday period. Our school holiday programme will not be running during this time.
Our Main Pool and Leisure Pool will remain open during this time, and there will be no changes to Splash Palace’s opening hours.
We thank you for your patience as we undertake this work.
