flag The Lambton pool waterslide was mostly closed during October holidays despite high demand, frustrating families.

flag The Lambton pool waterslide in Newcastle was closed for most of the October school holidays, frustrating families like grandfather Tony Ryan who visited multiple times. flag Despite high demand, the slide operated only on weekends due to historically low weekday usage, according to BlueFit, the company managing the city’s pools since 2014. flag Over 1,500 people used the slide during the break, and more than 30,000 visited the five pools overall. flag The slide was upgraded in 2022 at a cost exceeding $500,000. flag A $2 entry trial for four pools began in late September, but Lambton was excluded to avoid overcrowding. flag The City of Newcastle said it works with BlueFit to meet community needs.
