The pool and surrounding playground is making way for a $11.2 million hot salt water pool complex in the seaside Christchurch suburb.
A replica has been built in the $5m neighbouring playground, which opened in December 2017, but seeing the original whale go had been hard for some people, North Beach resident and Coastal Burwood Community Board chairwoman Kim Money says.
Christchurch's original urban school Ao Tawhiti Unlimited Discovery reopens in a $30 million building on the corner of Colombo and St Asaph streets in April.

But the school won't be like others, with no staffroom, offices, library, playground, or parking.
The school's director says they will use the city as their playground, library, and museum. What do you think of this concept - would you like your child to go to a school in the city centre?
Kyle Park will be recommended to Council next week as the preferred site for the home of Hornby’s community facilities.

It all started when Auckland woman Hannah Rodgers and her son, Jayden, committed to 100 days of kindness in the lead-up to Christmas last year.
"On day 65, Jayden suggested we write a card for someone who might feel lonely at Christmas," Rodgers says.
Now Rodgers and her son want the campaign, Sending Love, to help 100,000 Kiwis of all ages as it returns for its second year.

The High Court backed an earlier decision by the Environment Court to deny Harewood Gravels permission to develop a 28-hectare site in Yaldhurst near Christchurch Airport.
Jubilant residents say they are "relieved and grateful" for the decision, and hope it will bring their three-and-a-half year battle against the quarry to a close.
But Harewood Gravels director Murray Francis says the decision is "by no means the end of the line for us".

At this time of year all types of lilies become quite common in many homes. Lilies of genera Lilium and Hemerocallis (day lilies) have been shown to cause nephrotoxicity in cats.
Cats have been shown to be extremely sensitive to the toxic effects of lilies. As little as 2 leaves or part of a single flower have resulted in deaths. It should be pointed out that the whole plant-petals, stamen, leaves, and pollen are toxic. The exact toxic dose and the precise toxins responsible for renal damage are currently unknown.
The quick onset of clinical signs suggests a rapid absorption rate of the toxin. The renal tubular epithelium appears to be the target of the toxin. Studies indicate that it is the water-soluble fraction of the lily that is nephrotoxic.
In cats, clinical signs of lily intoxication include salivation, vomiting, anorexia, and depression. Polyuric renal failure leads to dehydration and anuric renal failure and death results. No tests to detect lily ingestion are currently available.
Successful treatment includes initiation of fluid diuresis before the onset of anuric renal failure. Once anuria develops, peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis is the only potential treatment. Differential diagnoses of lily poisoning include any potential cause of acute renal failure in a cat. Prognosis is excellent if fluid diuresis is started before anuric renal failure has developed.
Please remind your clients to be aware of these potentially toxic ornamental house plants.

Although many people were for the idea, some parents felt "blindsided" that they weren't forewarned that Hana Kōkō would be stepping in for Santa Claus. The parade's organisers have since apologised.
So we want to know your view on this topic. Are you in support of modernising Christmas, or do you prefer a traditional Santa? Take part in our poll below!
