Northern Arena has confirmed it plans to build a pool facility in Warkworth, but says timing of construction is dependent on completion of the Matakana link road.
Marketing manager Justin Byrne says that Northern Arena has obtained a site adjacent to the link road, overlooking Warkworth Showgrounds, but the site will not be accessible until the road is finished.
He says the Warkworth pool complex will be slightly smaller than the Northern Arena facility at Silverdale.
It will feature two small pools for children to learn to swim, as well as a 25-metre pool and a gym.
Access to the pool complex will be membership-based. Memberships in Silverdale currently cost from $23 per week for adults and $15 per week for seniors.
The Matakana link road is due for completion before the opening of the Puhoi to Warkworth motorway, which is scheduled for June 2022.
