The Council manages a number of paddling pools in parks around Christchurch. Children need to be supervised at all times as there are no lifeguards. All pools have fully complying filtration systems.

The following paddling pools are open for Easter weekend:

  • Botanic Gardens
  • New Brighton
  • Scarborough
  • Avebury Park
  • Edgar Macintosh Park
  • Spencer Park
  • Woodham Park

Abberley Park paddling pool is closed. 

All paddling pools will be closed from Tuesday 2 April until Summer 2024. Season dates will be available on this page later in the year.

Paddling pools are not supervised by a lifeguard.
