Jellie Park swimming complex
A combination of refurbishment and new build, the extended complex includes a large indoor swimming pool complete with new indoor hydroslide, fitness centre, spa, sauna and steam room.
20,000 tiles, 18,000 metres of timber framing, 900,000 cubic litres of water, 744 cubic metres of concrete… and 90 metres of slide is just a snapshot of the shopping list for the Jellie Park Swimming Complex $12 million re-development project on Ilam Road, Christchurch. A combination of refurbishment and new build, the extended complex includes a large indoor swimming pool complete with new indoor hydroslide, fitness centre, spa, sauna and steam room.
Exterior sandwich paneling and new polished concrete block is protected by a Resene Uracryl 403 clear anti-graffiti system allowing the concrete to withstand the weather and the would-be taggers. Inside, this durable protective coat was also used on glulam timber beams and block walls and timber slat benching in changing areas. Existing glulam beams, first coated over two decades ago with Resene Uracryl clear were still in good condition. To complete the interior, sandwich paneling is finished in Environmental Choice approved Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen.
The exuberance of slide goers is matched by a bold palette of custom mixed strong yellow and pink, Resene Ecstasy, custom mixed Jellie Park Poppy and Jellie Park White.
With the work all done, all that’s left to do is take a dip.
