Rebuilding our Community Pool
Kia Ora & Welcome to
The Edgeware Pool Project
Edgeware’s summer is about to get a whole lot brighter!
We’re thrilled to share that construction of the Edgeware Pool is well underway.
For years, the community had dreamed of this – a place where kids could learn to swim, teens could dive and race, and parents could unwind by the water on warm summer days. Every day brings us closer to the moment we can all dive in and enjoy this incredible new space together.
A huge thank you to everyone for your patience, enthusiasm, and support – the finish line is in sight!
The Edgeware Pool is a community-driven initiative creating a state-of-the-art aquatic facility that will serve as a vital community hub.
The pool will provide a safe and accessible venue for physical activity, improving overall health and wellness for our community members.
It will serve as a gathering place for families, offering programmes and events that encourage social interaction and community building.
We extend our thanks to the Christchurch City Council, the Lottery Grants Board, NZ Community Trust, Rātā Foundation, and the many local donors whose generous support has made this project possible.

Another Milestone Achieved!
Another milestone has been achieved. The floor of the main and manu pools has been formed, and blockwork on the walls will be completed by the end of September.

Paul & Valerie’s Story
“The pool isn’t just a hole in the ground; it’s a heartbeat of the community. We grew up here, and now our grandchildren deserve to swim here too. Let’s fill the pool!”
— Paul & Valerie Somerville.
