Takapuna centre updates

Upcoming Learner Pool closure for installation of new circulation system

Our Learner Pool will be closed from 3–19 April for additional upgrade work, including the installation of a new circulation system. This work is essential to help us maintain high-quality facilities for our community.

Learn to Swim classes will not be affected, as this closure is over the Easter break and the April school holidays.

The Learner Pool is mainly used by children learning to swim or families visiting during school holidays, so most members won’t be affected by this closure.

All other facilities remain open, including the lane pool, sauna and steam room, spa pool, and fitness gym.

Thank you for your patience while we complete this work.

Ngā mihi,
The Team at Takapuna Pool and Leisure Centre

The centre will be open from 5.30am-8.30am and from 3.30pm-9pm and you are welcome to use the centre at these times.
