Splash Centre Whanganui

16/06/2026

Just a heads up!
We'll be undertaking a full facility clean to give the Splash Centre a well-deserved refresh. This dedicated time allows our team to get behind the scenes and give every area of the facility some extra attention, helping us maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming environment for everyone to enjoy.

Think of it as a little spa day for the Splash Centre! ✨💅

Thank you for your patience and understanding while this work is carried out.

💡 The lights are out... but the fun isn't!

We're carrying out some unplanned maintenance on the recreation pool lighting. If visibility becomes too low, the recreation side of the facility may need to take a short break until lighting is restored.

All other areas of the facility remain open as usual.

Thanks for your patience while we get things back up and glowing! ✨

A lot of splashing, a few rescue scenarios, and absolutely no Oscar-worthy acting awards handed out today. 🎬🏊

Lifeguard training is all about building the skills, confidence, and teamwork needed to respond when it matters most. Because while we hope to never use these skills for real, we’re committed to being ready if we do.

We know many of you are eagerly awaiting the return of the steam room, and we appreciate your patience while we finish the final repairs.

The good news is we're now waiting on the last piece to arrive before the team can reinstall the ceiling. Assuming the courier gods smile upon us and no parcels decide to embark on an unexpected tour of New Zealand, we're aiming to reopen on Wednesday 10 June.

Thanks for bearing with us a little longer – the steam room is looking forward to seeing you just as much as you're looking forward to seeing it!
