A visit for the remainder of January will be half-price, thanks to a Regional School Holiday Activities Grant received by Tenterfield Shire Council courtesy of Regional NSW's Regional Growth Fund.
Councillors opted to apply the funding to a reduction of entry fees to the pool from January 1-31.

JUST Sport & Fitness (which manages the pool) together with Tenterfield Shire Council is offering the community a discount of 50 per cent to all patrons buying a general admission entry fee at the gate for use of the pool.
All holders of season passes purchased prior to December 2019 will also be eligible for a percentage refund for January. The refund is available on request through at the council office.
Council said the pool was previously closed due to issues with town water ash contamination and the inability to achieve the water quality and clarity desired for swimming. These issues have now been resolved.
"JUST Sports & Fitness and council are pleased to work together to offer reduced fees to the Tenterfield community to enable respite from the intense drought and surrounding bush fires during this extremely hot summer," Mayor Peter Petty said.
"Having a place to cool off will positively contribute to the physical, mental and social health of the community as well as give people something to look forward to through the holiday season."
