Excitement deepens for Linwood's new pool
A concept design for the new $22 million Linwood Pool complex will be considered for final Community Board approval on Wednesday.
The Linwood-Heathcote-Central Community Board will consider a staff recommendation that the design be approved and work start on the next phase of the project.
The planned development features an easily accessible complex that has been fully integrated with the popular Linwood Park, offering a range of indoor and outdoor recreational activities.
The concept design includes a multi-use 25-metre lane pool boasting a deep-water area with a dedicated area for “bombing”, a family spa pool, learn to swim pool, and a pool for toddlers and water deck.
Community meeting rooms and a kitchen are included in the design. The outdoor community space includes a gathering area, picnic tables, tennis and multi-use courts, cycle stands, parking and plenty of open areas for all ages to enjoy.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
