Jellie Park
During the summer months, the outdoor dive well at Jellie Park is open for tamariki, rangatahi, mātua and tīpuna alike to challenge each other to the biggest splash and style.
The outdoor dive well is 3 metres deep and has 1-metre and 3-metre springboards so you can practise perfecting your manus at two different heights.

Parakiore
Whether you’re a classic staple-dropper, a confident bomber or just testing the waters, Parakiore is the place to level up your splash game.
Launch from the 1m springboard, take it higher from the 3m springboards or platform, or up the ante from the 5m platform and deliver a manu worth talking about.
With plenty of space, 5m pool depth and a vibe built for big air and even bigger splash-downs, it’s your spot to perfect the art of the drop — from tidy technique to legendary ripples.
