Winter aquatic opening hours

Important change: Winter aquatic operating hours

Like most businesses, we have been experiencing critical staff shortages across many areas of the business, seeing us reactively close certain services at differing times.

In order to support our team’s recovery, and provide consistency in our service delivery, we are introducing reduced winter service delivery hours for our green waterslide and playground hours.

School holidays: Our next school holiday period runs Monday 27 June – Friday 8 July.  

Aquatic Playground opening hours

  1. Monday – Friday 9:00am – 7.00pm (as normal)
  2. Weekends 8:30am – 6:00pm (as normal)

Green Waterslide opening hours

  1. Monday – Friday 11:00am – 3:00pm (reduced hours)
  2. Weekends 11:00am – 3:00pm (reduced hours)

In addition, we will not be activating our Splashtown obstacle course over these School Holidays.  

 

July / August: Our winter months will see a moderate reduction in service delivery hours, with:

Aquatic Playground opening hours

  1. Monday – Friday 9:00am – 12:00pm, then 4.00pm – 7.00pm (reduced hours)
  2. Weekends 8:30am – 6:00pm (as normal)

Green Waterslide opening hours

  1. Monday – Friday 4:00pm – 7:00pm (as normal)
  2. Weekends 11:00am – 3:00pm (reduced hours)

 

We recognise the team has been under pressure for many months with roster challenges and staff isolations. Winter poses a perfect opportunity to pull back ever so slightly, reset and recharge ready for a big lead into summer!

Thank you for your understanding, and see you in Centre!
