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

We're all learning to live in a world where COVID-19 is the norm. Remember, if you're unwell, take a test and please don’t visit our facilities. Exercise good hygiene, and while there's no longer a requirement to wear masks when you visit our facilities, if you feel more comfortable wearing a mask we encourage you to do so.

  • Children aged 8-12, inclusive, that visit any of the Kapiti Coast District Council aquatics facilities unsupervised must give reception emergency contact details (first and last name and contact phone number) of a parent or guardian. 

    These contact details will be held in confidence at Reception and securely disposed of at the end of each day.
