Wai o Rua - Stratford Aquatic Centre opened in October 2022. The centre is more than double the capacity of the old TSB Pool Complex. It's home to an 8-lane 25 metre competition pool, 20 metre programme pool, learn to swim pool, toddler pool and a zero-depth splash pad, kitted out with a range of interactive water toys.

Wai o Rua has quickly become a cornerstone of community connection in central Taranaki, ushering in a new era of aquatic recreation and well-being.

Wai o Rua has become a vital part of health and recreation, attracting visitors not only from Stratford but from the broader Taranaki region.
