Surf City Leisure Pool
The "Surf City" leisure pool complex comprises many water-based attractions, that is open for public use:
- A modern leisure swimming pool, which is used for lane swimming or leisure swimming. At regular intervals a wave machine is activated in this pool, turning it into a topsy-turvy experience similar to swimming in the sea.
- A lazy river goes around the outside of the square pool with a reasonably strong current, children can float on rings in the current.
- A smaller children's pool with a waterfall and fountains
- Two large water slides that loop outside and then traverse back in above the leisure pool.

Famous quotes containing the words surf, city, leisure and/or pool:
“Now small fowls flew screaming over the yet yawning gulf; a sullen white surf beat against its steep sides; then all collapsed, and the great shroud of the sea rolled on as it rolled five thousand years ago.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
“A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man’s life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars. What are threescore years and ten hurriedly and coarsely lived to moments of divine leisure in which your life is coincident with the life of the universe?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A pool is, for many of us in the West, a symbol not of affluence but of order, of control over the uncontrollable. A pool is water, made available and useful, and is, as such, infinitely soothing to the western eye.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1934)
