Our pool has been around for 45 years and continues to provide an important community service for Bell Block and New Plymouth.  We are open 355 days a year delivering a range of activities for a wide range of community groups.

The pool is owned by the Bell Block Community Pool Society (BBCPS).  We have 10 volunteers on the committee and four staff looking after pool operations. .

As a beloved community hub, our pool attracts a steady stream of visitors. Our regular patrons receive a warm, personalised greeting upon arrival, fostering a sense of camaraderie and social connection among friends and acquaintances.

Staff manage and maintain the pool with true passion and commitment, and we are consistently ranked in the top 2% in New Zealand for water quality. Come and see for yourselves, you’ll be impressed.
