Future secured for Kawakawa pool
The future of the Far North’s only Council-funded heated public swimming pool is more secure thanks to an agreement between the Far North District Council, Sport Northland, Bay of Islands College and the Ministry of Education. For news about other Far North District Council projects and services that make the District a great place to live and visit, go to our website and read our latest Creating Great Places newsletter.
Te Papawai Community Pool is a 25-metre, six-lane pool located at the Bay of Islands Recreation Centre at Bay of Islands College, Kawakawa. The pool is open to the general public seven days a week (Monday to Friday 6am-7:30pm and Saturday/Sunday 8am-2pm). Please phone the pool on (09) 404 0127 before visiting, because it is sometimes used by swimming clubs.
