Due to the forecast overnight temperatures and the likelihood of icy road conditions, Moana Pool and Te Puna o Whakaehu will have a delayed opening tomorrow morning (Wednesday, 5 August).
We will open at 10am, allowing time for road conditions to be assessed and to help ensure the safety of our staff and customers travelling to the pools.
Please keep an eye on our page tomorrow morning for any further updates if conditions change.
Thank you for your understanding.

5:15am update: we're opening up as per normal
❄️ Snowy morning update: Te Puna o Whakaehu
It looks like Dunedin has had some snow overnight. Mosgiel itself doesn't appear too bad at this stage, but many of our team travel in from surrounding areas, including some that have been hit much harder. At this hour it's a little tricky to work out what's safe and practical, but we're doing our best to assess whether everyone can get to work safely.
At this stage, it's looking possible that we may have a delayed opening rather than opening as normal. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but we wanted to give everyone a heads up as early as we could.
We'll provide a further update by around 5:30am/6am.
In the meantime, stay safe, keep warm, and if you've woken up to a winter wonderland, enjoy the snow!
(Moana also open as usuall)
