Local youth are encouraged to cool off for free this January with the City of Karratha waiving fees at its pool facilities.
The City of Karratha is waiving entrance fees for people under 18 years of age for swimming pool facilities at the Karratha Leisureplex, Wickham Recreation Precinct and Roebourne Aquatic Centre during January.
Casual Shoot Around at the KLP also had its fees waived, and kids can shoot hoops for free on the airconditioned indoor courts.
This follows a successful running of the program in January saving families $28,193 at City facilities when 7,115 patrons made use of the fee waiver at Karratha, Wickham and Roebourne.
