Public pools & Water park in Auckland

“Love this track! super fun but cardio intensive walk (HILLS). The drive is easy with sealed road access and a well-maintained carpark. Carparks can be hard to find during peak times! The toilets are fantastic, taps, flushing and even loo paper. The hike itself is generally easy to moderate, taking around 1.5 hours round trip. The main highlight is the beautiful 15-meter waterfall and the refreshing swimming hole at its base.”

“We have enrolled my daughter in Fulton swim school at age of 3.5 year. She has learned very quickly as the swimming teaching technique and skills so good and easily learned. She is getting training from Mark as he is very exceptional teacher. Highly recommended.”

“Best place in Auckland to work out. Awesome friendly staff. Amazing coffee. Highly recommend. Cheers Barrington”

“Beautiful area! Pristine environment and freshest air on Earth! Beautiful sites. New Zealand is so gorgeous!”

“Great walk. Easy for my 7 year old to walk to the waterfall.”

“Waterbank Crescent Playground is an absolute gem! It’s safe, spacious, and has so much to offer for all ages. The playground is incredible—perfect for both kids and adults to climb and play together. The stunning water feature kept the kids entertained for ages (don’t forget towels and togs!). The basketball courts were great, and all the kids were so polite and gentle with our baby, who kept running onto the court. The volleyball net with sand was a huge hit with the older kids, and the skate park was awesome for scooters. We attended my nephew’s 6th birthday picnic here, and it was ideal for everyone, from grandparents to babies. Highly recommend this place for families!”

“Tranquil and peaceful. Great trail to the top and then to the lava tubes. Pristine environment. I hope the visitors continue to respect and appreciate the value of this island in its natural habitat.”

“Very pretty duck, fish, and lily flower lake! A spot for many photos as seen by everyone posing”

“I had a kitchen extractor put in and I want to say a huge thank you for making the process so easy. Everything looks super great, works perfectly and my place was left so clean and tidy.”

“Amazing tutors and staff, always accommodating when needed, great system for make up classes etc and so friendly. We’ve been coming for just over a year and seen wonderful progress.”

“Great playground for the kids at a wonderful beach park. Plenty of grounds for picnics or gatherings. Clean bathrooms and changing rooms. The beach is excellent for walking or swimming.”

“Very helpful staff. Great products. Outstanding customer service. After an online order was lost by the courier company, Bianca and the sales team followed up promptly and organized a new shipment after receiving confirmation from the courier. Highly recommend Barton McGill.”

“Very cool park. Great playground at one end of the park and a cool looking hide out/ tunnel/ ex-cannon place. Would have loved to use the stairs to go down the beach, but it was closed off. Looking straight ahead, you can enjoy Rangitoto island. A cool fact I just searched up, this park is named after American president John F. Kennedy.”

“This is a delightful park which has more than just play equipment. It has a lot of water play equipment so make sure the kids bring their togs. It has nice shady trees and a band rotunda. A great place for a picnic lunch or dinner and close to takeaways if you don't feel like bringing your own.”

“Just amazing! Who would have thought this not really a hidden gem at the heart of the highway has lots to offer. For a loner like me, it gave me a sense of ease whilst taking a short hike...it was a 4 hours well spent for a bit of sun and just pure nature all for me.”

“Nice big park with lots of trees to get some shade from. The sun. Over looking the water which adds a nice backdrop. Great for kids, plenty of room to run around and a park to play on.”

“Its a clean and functional gym. The staff are nice and helpful. Recommend as one if the best starting gyms”

“Absolutely a great place Huge. The greylynn event was such a crowd puller on a gorgeous day. Loved it.”

“I attended the woof rainbow dog show at this park. It was so much fun. The park playground is like a theme park, the view is stunning and has good bathroom facilities.”

“An oasis on peace and quietness. Went there on a full on day tip to Auckland and since i had a book i stopped to read for a while. Ended up seeing so many cute couples and people just chilling, reading and relaxing and ended up doing some friends with travellers that were around.”

“The visitor center within Sanders Reserve is often seen being used as a venue for small birthday parties. Additionally, a children's playground, public restrooms, and shower facilities are available.”

“Really nice, clean and tidy, with a beautiful view. Lots of cafes around too. Amazing playground.”

“Was really awesome going on a sunny day last time was raining but this time everyone was out enjoying the sun was so cool to see”

“Great park for families, would reccomend bringing skateboard or scooter(be respectful to Older skaters tho) and a tog n towel for the kids as the park has a cool water feature too.”

“Western Springs Lakeside Park is one of the most beautiful and relaxing spots in Auckland. The lush greenery, serene lake, and abundance of birdlife make it perfect for a weekend stroll or picnic. The walking paths are well-maintained, and there are plenty of open spaces for kids to play or just to sit and enjoy nature. It’s also right next to the Auckland Zoo and MOTAT, making it a great addition to a day out. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind without leaving the city!”

“Does Park has become a regular for me to take my dog spotty to there is always plenty of dogs here as it is an off-leash dog park surrounded by native bush and a circuit that a lot of people used to get fit the tracks themselves are never muddy and most of the dogs know each other as do the owners this park was gifted to Auckland buy Smith & caughey who owned the department store in Queen Street for over 100 years it was given to the people of Auckland so that it couldn't be used for housing and set aside as one of the greatest green spaces”

“What superb service from Excellence Billiards. I required new pockets for my slate table. They arrived within 3 days of ordering & i needed someone to remove old & install the new. Excellence Billiards recommended a gent named Kerry based here in Christchurch. He came & inspected & dismantled what he had to & returned the following day to complete. What outstanding service & workmanship(hard to get these days.)Highest recommendation.”

“Great store they have all your needs. Friendly service”

“We had a truly wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Auckland. The location is perfect – set in a lovely, peaceful area with absolutely stunning views of the sea, boats, and the bridge. The house itself is stylish, full of light, and thoughtfully designed. It felt very comfortable and had everything we needed – from a fully equipped kitchen to cozy spaces to relax. We especially appreciated the little touches like having milk in the fridge on arrival – such a kind and welcoming gesture, as well as the cot provided for our kid, which was important for us. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and scenic stay in Auckland!”

“What a great experience. Such a beautiful scene. We went with baby, so did not attempt the walk ways. We walked accross the beach during low tide and went up to the museum. Will definitely head back once baby is a bit older to complete the routes.”
