Red Connection

Great pool for all ages. Indoor and outdoor hydro slides, outdoor only for 5+ or over 107cm tall. Kids pools have a lazy river and two spots for rest and water massage, baby play area is spacious, swim pools are very clean and tidy. The only thing is there is only 3 family shower rooms and one of the two disability room was locked. Took a long time waiting for a room to become available. The pool will be close from 17Jan 2022 to 30 Jan 2022 for maintenance.

Beautiful complex. Stopped and grabbed a coffee on my way in. Thoroughly enjoyed. My daughter really enjoys the adventure playground in the leisure area. So great for the little ones to not miss out on the "hydroslide" experience. Great facilities. Will definitely go here again

I come here at least twice a week and find this is one of the better council facilities around ; the leisure/play side is prob more suited for younger children say 12 and under as it is not that deep , but the lane pool & spa is excellent & has plenty of room. They sometimes reserve two lanes for leisure and have floaty toys for big kids. The desk staff are always friendly & helpful . Victoria assisted me to sign up for a membership and was lovely, accommodating and informative. Highly commendable.

We enjoy coming here as the facilities are great, today however I was quite disappointed. When I arrived with my son it said the toddler and leisure area were closed until 10am, this wasn't a problem as I thought we'll have something to eat and a coffee from from the cafe. However, when we went up to go in at 9:55am the lady behind the desk advised the area was closed until 1:15pm , when I said the sign had said 10am she quite rudely replied, no it says 1:15pm. The rest of the pools were taken up with swimming lessons so we couldn't use the facilities Many families were coming with their toddlers this morning and have had to leave with sad little people

As always had fun at pool with kids although disappointed in the lazy river. It was very slow and took a lot of the fun out of it. Please can we have it a bit faster. Also the kids were first one down the hyroslide and found it very hard to breath with the chlorine and came out coughing a lot. Great local facility we have though and very helpful staff.

Visited 29th Jan 2023 to enjoy the leisure pool with my 5yr old son - his favourite pool at this facilities . Sign at entrance said leisure pool lazy river was closed and would open at 3.30pm. Paid for entry and began using other facilities while we waited for it to open. Pools open began getting very crowded and 330 rocks around and life guards change the poolside board to read ‘open 5pm’. Left the kid in tears and me very unhappy as if it wasn’t due to open at 330 we would have visited another facility. Communication between life guard and facility staff appalling with customer services staff blaming life guards, and life guards blaming customer service staff. This facility needs to work on providing customers with clear, accurate information and better communication, so customers can make informed decisions before entering. Signs everywhere also state community services cards holders receive 25% off with no mention of terms and conditions, however there are terms and conditions and isn’t applicable with family passes for some crazy reason. When questioned, customer service staff could not provide me with terms and conditions and only stated ‘the computer won’t allow us too’. Usually a great experience but after today will visit a facility who care about their customers.

Taiora: QEII Recreation and Sport Centre is an excellent facility for fitness and recreation. The facility is very well maintained, with a wide variety of equipment, classes, and activities available. The staff are friendly, and always willing to help. The centre also has a pool, which is great for swimming and aqua fitness classes. Overall, Taiora: QEII Recreation and Sport Centre is a great place to stay active and have fun. Although it may not be as good as it use to be, I still Highly recommend going here!

Young kids pool has a lot of fun water features for the young ones to play with and the giant bucket is very novel, however the water in the bucket pool and in the lazy river is cold. Spa is nice, changing rooms seemed very busy for a Monday.

After coming here for almost two years, I had a heart attack. If it wasn't for doing so much exercise I would have never known there was a problem. The best part about the heart attack was that alot of people I chat with have now gone to their doctors and had check ups. The staff I deal with kept in touch and made others aware of what had happened to what seemingly was a fit, healthy person. Good place to belong to.

Pools and recreation area absolutely freezing. Typically cold at the best of times but today was exceptionally bad. Couldn't stay very long to hard for kids....Could be a great place but leave disappointed every time. Bring back the old QEII!
