Alpine Aqualand to re-open on weekends from Saturday
Queenstown locals can make a big splash when Alpine Aqualand reopens on weekends once again from this Saturday (April 1).
To celebrate, the hydroslides will be free to use – you’ll just need to pay standard pool entry. The hydroslides will be in operation on both Saturday and Sunday from 10.30am.
Queenstown Lakes District Council sport and recreation manager Simon Battrick said he was excited to welcome the community back on weekends after a successful campaign to recruit more lifeguards.
“It was a difficult decision to close in the first place and it’s fantastic to see our pool crew roster grow again. Swimming is such an essential skill and we appreciate how much families love coming here on the weekends to spend quality time together,” he said.
Alpine Aqualand has been closed for the previous six weekends.
The council is still experiencing staff shortages across several aquatic roles. Whilst the lifeguard shortage is still being felt there have been enough applications and trainees to fully staff the week ahead.
