Opening Hours
Carterton’s outdoor swimming pool complex comprises of three pools: the main pool, the learner’s pool, and the toddler’s pool. The variety of pool sizes and depths, shade sails and seating areas, make for a great family facility.
The outdoor baths were officially opened in October 1911 and were built on an existing quarry pit. The main pool was 50 yards long and 25 yards wide making it the largest outdoor pool in New Zealand at the time.
It is also one of the few pools in the country that provides free admission.
