📍 Gore, Southland
A tidy, well-priced swimming and event complex in Gore, with pool sessions plus holiday skating programs. Reception staff get a special mention for being genuinely welcoming to families with little ones.
Had my wee granddaughter here. Great kids pool. A little rowdy with a school group in but to be expected. Disabled change rooms really good. Shower made the floor in change part really wet. Wall to high off the floor and shower points onto the wall

“Attended the holiday learn to skate program for the kids. They loved it. Stayed to play on the open skate afterwards and it was a lot of fun. Staff was very helpful getting a chair for my toddler as he was struggling with the penguins.”

Overview
A clean, rarely-crowded spot that does double duty: pool sessions for a swim and an ice rink running learn-to-skate programs in the holidays, with open skate afterwards for a bit of a play. Parents keep singling out the reception team for going out of their way, right down to fetching a chair for a toddler on skates. Pram access and parking make the logistics easy.
