read morePetone's McKenzie Pool is to reopen on Saturday 16th November after a major $2.3 million redevelopment.
The facility is in the final construction stage with commissioning and testing of the pools treatment plant, heating systems and equipment happening in the next few weeks. All three main contractors and the project manager have done a great job keeping the project on track.
When the pool is reopened it will be go back to its original name the McKenzie Baths in keeping with the historical significance to the Petone community.
Explaining the move, Hutt City Council Recreation Facilities Manager Stephen Keatley stated "there was a plaque on the front gate covered in a creeper with the words McKenzie Baths. This was removed before the redevelopment started and will be re-installed in a prominent position ready for the opening.''
While maintaining a link with the past the redeveloped pool will have modern water treatment systems and play features for children.
Keatley added "the pool is looking fantastic with all the new pool surrounds, splash pad, upgraded changing facilities and entrance, plus with both pools now full of water the end is in sight."
The original pool opened on the 16th December 1933 with the baths named after David McKenzie who was Mayor of Petone and Chairman of the Baths Committee.
