Paddling pools

Park paddling pools have been damaged due to events of September 2010 and February 2011. Recreation and Sports Unit staff are working to rectify this issue and will update this page as further information on the status of the pools is received.

There are a number of paddling pools around Christchurch which are managed by the Council. However they do not have life guards, so children will need to be supervised at all times.

The paddling pools are open from approximately Show Weekend until Easter each year.
