Community Summer Pools

Ngā puna kauhoe raumati a-hāpori

Council is proud to provide towns around the district with community pools, free of charge, that open during the summer months (from early December - Taranaki Anniversary at the beginning of March). These pools are upgraded regularly and are amazing facilities to offer our residents.

The pools are available to hire outside public hours by arrangement. If you want more information, please contact the team at the Hāwera Aquatic Centre on (06) 278 0021 or 0800 111 323.

All children under the age of 8 must be actively supervised by a caregiver 16 years or older.

History of the Old Pool

The original Pātea swimming pool complex was located on Stafford Street, Pātea.

  • The original pools complex was built in 1945 and consisted of a 33.3 yard pool with learners and toddlers pools
  • The pools were outdoor cold water pools and operated during summer season.
  • The Pātea community opted to look for a new site located closer to the schools which both now are located south of state highway 3. The north east corner of the Pātea domain was the preferred site.
  • In May 2012 the new pool project was started with W&W Construction Ltd Whanganui being the principal contractor.
  • The project was completed and the new pool complex opened 12 December 2012.
