Drive up, jump out, dive in! The Southland Aquatic Centre – Splash Palace – is one of the top public pool facilities in New Zealand. The indoor aquatic centre is within walking distance of the central business district and close to a large selection of motels and parks.
Facility Update
Our leisure pool – commonly known as the wave pool – will be temporarily closed on Monday 3 March, reopening Monday 24 March, as its foam tile flooring is replaced. This work is a critical piece of maintenance, required to ensure we can future-proof our facility for pool users. We apologise for any inconvenience, and appreciate your patience as we work to get our facility in tip-top shape. Click here to learn more.
While our leisure pool is temporarily closed, we will open our learners pool where possible to accommodate visitors to Splash Palace. Please call us on (03) 217 7506 to check before your visit.
