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.
