Work has started on Auckland’s new swimming pool at the Karanga Plaza Tidal Steps to provide space for people to safely enjoy the city centre waterfront.
As part of the Mayor’s vision to open up the waterfront for Aucklanders, Eke Panuku have designed improvements which are set to be completed by the end of 2024, just in time for summer.
“Making the most out of our harbour and environment is one of my top priorities,” said Mayor Wayne Brown.
“We’ve got one of the most beautiful waterfronts in the world, and I’m determined to see it transformed into a vibrant public space everyone can enjoy for free.
This new trial pool, which I’ve secured at very low cost to ratepayers, is just the start of what’s to come. It’s part of a much bigger piece of work that will see much more of our waterfront made into places of rest and recreation for Aucklanders, and visitors.”
As well as the free saltwater harbour pool, the improvements include a new jump platform. Find out more here.
