A concept design for the new $22 million Linwood Pool complex will be considered for final Community Board approval on Wednesday.

The Linwood-Heathcote-Central Community Board will consider a staff recommendation that the design be approved and work start on the next phase of the project.

The planned development features an easily accessible complex that has been fully integrated with the popular Linwood Park, offering a range of indoor and outdoor recreational activities.

The concept design includes a multi-use 25-metre lane pool boasting a deep-water area with a dedicated area for “bombing”, a family spa pool, learn to swim pool, and a pool for toddlers and water deck.

Community meeting rooms and a kitchen are included in the design. The outdoor community space includes a gathering area, picnic tables, tennis and multi-use courts, cycle stands, parking and plenty of open areas for all ages to enjoy.

There’s a new fire in town…. we are absolutely thrilled to announce that both the Pyroclassic IV and Mini Wood burning fires are now ULEBs. One of the cleanest wood burning fires, made right here in New Zealand, this unique Kiwi fire can now become a part of your family.

Available in over 200 colour options and with a 10mm thick steel top plate that also provides an excellent additional cooking surface.
