The next stage of a multi-year, $25 million refurbishment of Moana Pool has begun.
In a statement, Dunedin City Council group manager parks and recreation Heath Ellis said the latest work involved refurbishment of the hydroslides to ensure they remained a popular attraction for the community.
"We know the hydroslides are a family favourite and we are looking forward to making sure they remain fit-for-purpose for our community and the next generation of sliders."
The work will involve cleaning the exterior of the slides, refurbishing sections of the slides and the support structure, re-grouting tiles in the exit pool and repairing the access ramp and top enclosure area.
The slides will be closed from June 23 for up to five months while the refurbishment is carried out, but the council aims to open them again on weekends whenever the work allows.
Staff will also be rolling out alternatives such as pool inflatables, diving board sessions and the return of the Water World indoor water park for the school holidays.
