Public pools & Water park in Auckland

“Amazing knowledge (free of charge) and selection of pool products at competitive prices. My best way pool was full of algae and I couldn't see the bottom (a result of my lazyness over winter). Took a sample in and the lovely lady gave me an accurate reading of my pool water quality. I followed her advice and presto, a week later, the pool was clean and crystal clear. I always buy my products there now, as the pool chat and service is excellent.”

“Very good veiw of Auckland city and sky tower. Very beautiful. Beautiful boat.. The Tidal Steps which expand off Karanga Plaza, allow for people to sit and watch the boats go by, get their toes wet or jump right in for a swim.The tidal stairs provide a symbolic and tactile connection to the waters of the Waitematā and invites touching, swimming and ceremonial arrival. The generously scaled steps create a natural gathering place and vantage point from which to view the speactacle of the city and water based activity.”

“Great place to chill with the kids on the weekend. It's close to Costco and Foodie so it's quite convenient for groceries shopping”

“We have been so fortunate to have Fulton Swim School support us with our son’s rehabilitation post several hip operations. The lessons are well sequenced, the kids know what is expected and for us personally it is a safe and engaging way for our son to not only learning a life skill from professionals but also regain and build strength and movement.”

“Aqua-tech has been our go-to supplier, and honestly, they're amazing! The quality of their products is top-notch – we've never had an issue. Plus, their shipping is super prompt, which keeps our projects on schedule. But what really sets Aqua-tech apart is their outstanding customer service. The whole team is incredibly helpful and always ready to go the extra mile. And we have to give a special shout-out to Jaime! His passion for liner pools is contagious, and his expertise is unmatched. He knows every single part inside and out, and he's always willing to share his knowledge. If you're looking for a reliable supplier with great products, fast shipping, and a team that truly cares, Aqua-tech is the way to go! We highly recommend them!”

“Ideal spot to bring your dog's for a walk. It's peaceful and the walkways are nice and wide. New foliage has been planted a bench or two have been added.”

“The Lower Huia Dam is about a 40-minute drive from Auckland and makes a nice short trip into the Waitākere Ranges. From the carpark, it’s an easy walk to the reservoir area. The surroundings are peaceful, with farmland and hills nearby, and sometimes sheep grazing in the fields. The highlight is the bellmouth spillway — a rare circular overflow structure that looks like a giant vertical funnel. It’s quite impressive to see in person and not something you often come across in New Zealand. The dam top also gives good views of the lake and surrounding hills. It’s generally very quiet, and we hardly saw other visitors during our walk. On a rainy day, the atmosphere felt fresh and calm, and the whole place had a very tranquil vibe. Worth a stop if you’re exploring the west coast or the Waitākere Ranges.”

“I do karate here. Great floor, very spacious, perfect for your next sporting event”

“Great place for small easy hike and swim in waterfall. Can do up to MacDonald trek for good lookout but lots of stairs and climb”

“Well set up swimming lesson facilities. Has toilets, showers, changing rooms, lots of parking. Basic snack food, drinks and swimming gear available to buy.”

“Pleasant place to visit. Nice walkways and canoe launch.”

“Went here to go get swimming lessons, the teachers were extremely nice, and the place was terrific to swim at”

“Open field park usually used by football players and clubs”

“The coaches at Ross Millar are fantastic - second to none!! Teaching swimming is their life and it shows in the passion they have with the kids they teach. Our now 7 year old was floundering and not progressing with his lessons from other centres. That changed almost immediately when he started with Elliott and Jordan. Thanks team!”

“Great experience at Bunnings Warehouse. Staff were friendly and helpful, and I easily found what I needed for my project. Good range of brackets and screws, and prices were reasonable. Always a reliable place for DIY supplies.”

“Just want to make mention of a wonderful employee you have at Bunnings Silverdale, Ray! She was professional, caring and valuing of her customers, putting them first. I returned a Ryobi lawn mower as I got the wrong one, she made the process smooth and easy - I walked away with the correct one. Thank you Ray!”

“Amazing flowers last week at Mitre10 Albany. They always have a great variety for such great prices. Love it”

“In my opinion this is by far the best store, super clean well presented and plenty of choice. I travel from New Lynn to visit this store, the dri e is quick and relaxed. Thanks team”

“Had our first birthday party there, and kids had an absolute blast! Lovely attentive staff, who had a lot of patience answering my endless questions. Lovely area for parents to wait while the kids are running around occupied for hours. Literally had to drag them away after 4 hours. Will definitely be back! Thank you, LiveWire Highbury Team!”

“We celebrated our son’s third birthday here yesterday and it was the perfect venue for it. Helpful and attentive staff, wonderful food, and an open and inviting atmosphere for the children to play. A very family friendly place. Thank you Whoa! Studios ✨”

“Great park for kids not sure what one of the obstacles was lol”

“Sue is an amazing swim teacher who makes learning fun and easy. She is patient, kind, and encouraging, always cheering her students on and helping them improve at their own pace. Her friendly personality makes everyone feel comfortable in the water, and she has a talent for explaining things clearly so even difficult techniques become simple to understand. Sue is also very supportive and motivating, always noticing progress, no matter how small, and inspiring confidence in her students. She creates a positive and safe environment, making swimming lessons enjoyable and exciting every time. Overall, Sue is not just a teacher but also a role model, showing dedication, passion, and care in everything she does.”

“Was amazing my first time there, Had a park playground for the younger ones Bombing area and slides area into the pools also a basketball shooting area Beautiful views out to the ocean and the bridge going to NorthShore With the sky tower in view”

“Been going to this gym for 3 years. Well maintained facilities and friendly and helpful staff. There’s a stadium upstairs with 6 hoops that is free to access for members. Wide range of fitness classes to choose from as well. PT service is also available. Lastly, it’s rare to find a gym that opens as early as 5:30am in Auckland, perfect for 8 to 5 workers like me.”

“Home to some of the best greens in Auckland and also holds a very special place in my heart. The Akarana members are a great bunch and always make you feel welcome, really enjoy playing here a couple of times a year. James Ashwin Kakapo Business Sales”
