Stanmore Bay centre updates
Upcoming closure for maintenance
Check out the key dates and details below so you can plan ahead!
Aquatics area: Monday 29 September to Sunday 12 October 2025 (reopening Monday 13 October 2025)
The entire aquatics area, including both pools, spa and sauna will be closed, for the following maintenance and upgrades:
- Pool heating system - we're switching over from gas to electricity by replacing the gas boiler with the heat pump*
- General maintenance on all pools and swim plus zones
- Pool plant maintenance and chemical cleaning of high-use areas
*Changing our old gas boilers to electric heat pumps for our pool heating system will reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and help us achieve net zero emissions by 2050. It also helps us manage our costs and operate more efficiently.
