Public pools in Christchurch

“A hidden gem out in the country.Nice grounds ,plenty of shade and even waterlines for the kids.”

“So glad they retained this paddling pool. Great for littlies and for adults who want to sit and cool off their feet.”

“We had a perfect morning for this planned trip thankfully as you need to prebook on the website. The pools were clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. While we spent the entire visit in a single pool, there were many choices and I have tried them out on different occasions. In my opinion this is a great pool to bring a baby/toddler family to. The 1st pool has a big terraced entrance for new water babies and a deeper part so that adults can hover along the edge of the shallow section supporting their tamariki. I highly recommend.”

“Love the womens only Wednesdays. Change rooms, toilets and showers are always clean and tidy. An awesome facility with friendly staff.”

“I love this pool, I always come here when I can. The kids love swimming in the different sized pools. We always have fun can't wait to come here again soon. I definitely recommend coming here it's a great place for all ages with swim equipment that you can buy at the front desk like googles, swim wear, and water toys for the kids. I've also heard that there's a gym, but haven't had a look even tho I've been going here for years.”

“Loved the water play right by the beach! Coming from Dunedin on a special trip because we don't have anything like it!”

“Have been dealing with David and James about getting a pool installed. Unfortunately, we couldn't go ahead this time due to council/developer issues. They have both been outstanding, from initial pricing to dealing with the council and the developer. Would recommend these guys 100%. We look forward to using their services in the future.”

“What a fantastic community facility, maintained by an absolutely awesome team of volunteers it is well worth a season key purchase or a day pass.”

“Great spot north of the city. Plenty of room for surf and sand dunes to run up and down with the kids”

“Excellent service and a great team. Pool is fantastic and everything we had hoped for.”

“Brilliant wee park. Two awesome playgrounds. One for smaller kids by the pool and one for larger kids by the toilets. Dog friendly although dogs are meant to be on leash and people are very irresponsible especially the fact that it is a park for children and not all children like dogs. Rubbish bins available IF people bother picking up their dog poo. The pool is Brilliant for toddlers if not too cold.”

“I and my son just strolling around the hagley till we found this stunning place which we decided to have a look inside,been here already for a long time in nz but it was my first time to went inside that place and it was amazing,loves those different sort of plants.please check it out if you have time .☺️cant upload video as it was too long.”

“Stunning scenery good roads truly beautiful”

“Kids had a blast. We turned up looking for a late evening swim but it was closed for an event. The staff directed us to another local pool (loved their friendliness). We came back the next day and had a great time. Good clean facilities, plenty for the family to do and priced accordingly”

“Great local drive up to beach wth changing rooms plus 2 toilets. So handy.”

“Best place to take walks on. Very spacious park and has been a part of Christchurch’s identity as the Garden City. Plenty of spaces to take walks and jogs on. Beautifully carved and is clean every time, so you can see how well it’s been taken care of and how disciplined everyone visiting is. Christchurch truly is beautiful and Hagley Park adds to that!”

“Nice and relaxing place... Good place for walking, running and bird watching ♥️”

“All great reviews and I dont have words to describe this phenomenon place. Everything is well groomed. The park is so clean and does not matter how you roam the park, you wont get lost. A must visit, and please make a donation.”
