Centre information

Our centre and pools are wheelchair accessible. If you have any additional access needs, please let us know.
The event will feature sounds and music, so the space may get noisy at times.
You might notice pool chemicals and other scents, and the bright natural light could be a concern for those sensitive to it. For anyone who finds this overwhelming, we’ll have a chill-out zone with low light and noise where you can relax and recharge.
To help the City meet its sustainability goals, please bring your reusable drink bottle or be ready to use the recyclable options provided throughout the day to minimise waste.
