Public pools & Water park in Auckland

“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.”

“Over looking the Huia bay, this picturesque lookout offers a breathtaking sight of the backwaters in the Waitakere region. A short yet lovely escape place from the city. Ideal to visit in the evenings with friends and family , right before sunset. Visiting this place is totally free of cost with ample parking space available. For groups visiting with toddlers and children below age of 10, it’s better to be careful and monitor while walking towards the viewing deck thought the railings are quite high.”

“Very easy and quick walk from road. Waterfall is stunning and beautiful to swim in”

“Beautiful place and nice walk to get there. Waterfall itself is not so big but all nature around is Very beautiful!”

“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.”

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

“A beautiful beach if you are looking to see it with family and friends.”

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

“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.”

“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!”

“Nice quiet park in the center of Auckland. Good walking paths. Easy 30 minute walk from main shopping area. Minimal car traffic. Cute cafe next to pond.”

“Such a beautiful, tranquil spot! Unlike the wild West Coast surf beaches, Cornwallis is calm and perfect for kids to splash around safely.”

“Amazing bike track as you can see in my pictures. They have huge bike park with various tracks for all different levels. We just tried few track for beginners for 2 hours and we loved it. Also, they have a good quality of their rental bikes.”

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

“My simple words will not do any justice to this place. This is beyond imagination and best place to feel the nature of its vibe along with the sound of birds. If you love walking this is the place to be with your loved one but ensure you reach before 5pm. Since the place is just near the museum there is an open ground where we can park your car van free and roam tense free.”

“Lovely family beach. Great outdoor playground for the kids. My only critique is it could do with a few more picnic tables/benches to sit at.”

“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”

“Great park for smaller dogs. Relatively safe in the bowl area as you can keep a watch on them! My pup absolutely loves this park and can run around safely under supervision.”

“The absolute best speedway venue ever! Should never have been shut down! Bring back Western Springs!”

“Really happy with Mairangi Bay swim school. Teachers are great and booking is easy. Caitlin is so sweet and gentle with the beginners and Abbey is super encouraging and kind with the next level, calmly redirecting kids attention to the the tasks.”

“This place is so great it's hard to describe. Amazing location, with a fantastic view of Auckland in the distance. Very calm, very quiet, and to wake up with that view in the mornings is just amazing. I would recommend this to any couple wanting a romantic and relaxing getaway. Plus, Waikehe island is a fantastic place in general, a minor tropical paradise. Don't miss renting a car and driving around the island to visit the wineries.”

“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.”

“Absolutely beautiful spot in Auckland for the whole family, including the dog/s. Massive off leash area. Nice walking tracks and beautiful outlook. We absolutely loved our morning spent slowly making our way around the Orakei Basin. Definitely check out google/the council website before you go, though. If you're planning to do the loop walk I'd say you'd struggle with a pram due to the stairs near the Sailing Club House. Other than this, absolutely highly rate this walk. Was 10/10 for our family.”

“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.”

“Great place for a scenic walk and explore the historic tunnels and learn some history. Access to a beautiful long beach, 360 degree views across Tamaki Makaurau. Native flora and fauna.”

“Beautiful track! Although the visibility was poor when I visited, the track itself is amazing and the lava caves were fantastic to see! I took the 10.30am ferry, and it took me (relatively young, fit, and healthy) 40 minutes from the wharf to the summit, 15 minutes to walk the loop around the crater, 30 minutes to the lava caves then 20 minutes exploring the lava caves, and 30 minutes back to the wharf leaving me woth half an hour before the 2.20 ferry It was quite physically demanding! And very warm due to the volcanic rock but well worth it!”

“Just lovely. Easily accessible from Auckland via the downtown to Devonport ferry with a walk over an old volcano! Great views, clear water. As much a locals spot as fir tourists. Great ice cream shop nearby. Had a fantastic last swim in New Zealand.”

“A must see if coming to Auckland, such a beautiful place to go for a trek along the different trails, or a quick dip to cool off on the hot days we have here, the waterfall is beautiful and such a nice backdrop for the family photo. Can get busy during the weekends so may have to park up the drive down and walk down, a fairly easy gradient too.”

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