Ōtaki Pool

Ōtaki Pool is a recently renovated facility located on the grounds of Haruātai Park, catering for all ages and aquatic abilities.  This facility also features a free-to-use splash pad.

To view our services at each traffic light setting, see our COVID-19 updates.

Operating under the current traffic light system

Due to staff availability, we may need to reduce hours or close at short notice. We will endeavor email and text those in our database and keep you up to date on our Facebook page.

We’re progressively reinstating full operational weekday hours at our pools in Ōtaki and Paraparaumu. However, due to the impact of COVID-19 on our staff availability, we need to maintain our reduced weekend hours (8am–4pm) at both pools.

These changes are temporary and will be regularly reviewed. We acknowledge that this is not an ideal situation, but making these changes will ensure that we can continue to keep our facilities open and provide continuity of service to the Kāpiti Coast community for as long as possible.

Weekly lane schedule

  • Monday 16 May–Sunday 22 May [PDF 190 KB]
  • Monday 23 May–Sunday 29 May [PDF 190 KB]

When there are bookings or programmes in the main pool there will be a minimum of three lanes for the public.
