The new heat pump has arrived and we are SO excited! Thank you to everyone who has contributed funds to make this happen. The old pump struggled to keep the water temperature up and we know this was frustrating for many of our users. If you haven't already, get your pool key and get ready to enjoy our wonderful community facility from 14 November.

It certainly takes a community to keep our pool going and we are very grateful for the support we receive. A special shout out to Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead and Miles Andrews for donating the paint for our seating. It looks so good and no doubt will get plenty of use this summer.

Our fabulous new sign is just one of the upgrades we've made over the past few months. A dedicated team, which has included members of our community including Craig Todd, Bruce Rogers and Josh Murdoch have repaired and upgraded the bleachers, we've made some repairs to the pool and we're soon to get the new heat pump installed. We will be announcing key sale and open dates in the next few days.

Thanks to the Christchurch City Council, we have had the pampas grass removed from outside the pool and we are on the hunt for some native plants and compost to fill the gap. This is a list of the plants that have been recommended for the site. If you have any spare or cuttings we would be very grateful! Send us a DM if you can help with plants or compost. 🙏🙏

Well that's a wrap. The 2025/2026 season is over and the pool has been shut down for winter. Thank you to all keyholders and everyone who enjoyed our pool over summer. A huge thank you to our wonderful team of caretakers and lifeguards.
We wouldn't be able to operate...or have a gleaming pool... without the financial support of NZCT, Ferrrymead Foundation, Kiwi Gaming and the Scarborough Dippers.
Our next challenge is to raise funds ($90k😱) for a new heating system and we got off to a great start with a recent fundraiser at the Sumner Bowling Club. Thank you to everyone involved in it's organisation, particularly Ren Cameron and Ben Saville, and the generosity of our community for either donsting goods for the auction or buying them.
Looking forward to next season and please get in touch if you have any feedback, we would love to hear from you.

Today is the last chance to collect property left at the pool over summer. We have watches, jewelry, clothes, shoes, towels and goggles..So many children's goggles!! The office is open 1-4 today.

Come along and support the Sumner Community Pool's bowls fundraiser at the Sumner Bowling Club from 1pm, Sunday 29 March. Wet or fine.
We are raising funds for a much needed heat pump and to help us, the Sumner Bowling Club is hosting a bowls tournament and auction.

Spectators and supporters are welcome at anytime, with the auction getting underway just after 4pm.

Amongst the fantastic items we have for auction are a Kees Bruin limited edition print and a signed Finn Allen International T20 Black Caps Shirt from when he broke the T20 record.

This is a community event and a great excuse for a catch up and drink on a Sunday afternoon. Please bring cash for raffles and a donation bucket!
