Celebrating a night of success at the Recreation Aotearoa - Te Whai Oranga 2023 awards

Congratulations to our team from Ōtāhuhu Pool and Leisure Centre who won the New Zealand Outstanding Pool of the year 2023 

The Ōtāhuhu Pool and Leisure Centre is a vibrant community hub, combining a library, pool, gym and stadium for residents to learn, play and relax. With eight years of operation under its belt, the facility has had a positive impact on the wider Ōtāhuhu community.

Dave McKenzie also took home the Paul Stuart Memorial Award which recognises outstanding personal contribution to the facility management industry 

Highly regarded by his colleagues and wider community, Dave McKenze currently manages two South Island aquatic centres. He has been instrumental in supporting several pools in the greater region to become Poolsafe accredited. His knowledge, and dedication across paid and voluntary work makes him an esteemed figure in facility management and the recreation sector.
