New Brighton hot pools closing for scheduled maintenance

Christchurch City Council has advised that the popular New Brighton hot pools, He Puna Taimona, is closing temporarily for scheduled maintenance work.

He Puna Taimona will be closed to the public from Thursday 16th February to allow improvements to be made in and around the pools. It is expected to re-open on Friday 31st March 2023.

He Puna Taimoana Manager Merryn Skipper said the closure is part of a two-yearly planned maintenance schedule to ensure the facility is fit for purpose.

“We’ll be using this six weeks to carry out improvement work onsite, particularly maintaining and replacing pool equipment to ensure they continue to run well.

“We know how much people love visiting He Puna Taimoana, and while there is never a good time to shut our doors, this is our quietest period. It is important to give this well-used facility the maintenance it requires to keep it running efficiently and safely for customers and staff to enjoy.”

Bookings will be available for the reopening date onwards by the end of January 2023.
