Public pools & Water park in Auckland

“Lovely hosts. Price was $25, not bad for the great location! Drive getting there was a little crazy but beautiful - narrow winding road, some drivers that need to slow down. There are bathrooms on site, and more at the beach car park just a 5 minute walk away. Right next to some great hikes and the black sand beach!”

“Easy drive to get there with a park over property right across the road (if you have a self contained camper van etc).”

“Such an incredible spot. If you need a drive away from Auckland, you should definitely add this to your list. The beach and the dunes are stunning and really makes your appreciate the world's natural beauty ✨️”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“Truly a hidden gem! Enjoyed our visit there. Highly recommend especially with kids, lots of things to see and very entertaining! Will come back 100%”

“Excellent place to walk with a lot of beautiful sights... friendly people, but not very challenging in terms of difficulty. Sunsets are amazing.”

“Fantastic service from knowledgeable staff. Instantly knew which pump to supply for the best result with my location and application. Highly recommend them.”

“My husband and I went to Killarney Park after having a cup of coffee at French Rendezvous Cafe next door on 15/12/2023. The park was very quiet and we enjoyed the lovely and romantic walk there. We highly recommend you to visit the park if you happen to go to North Shore or you are one of the Northshorers.”

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

“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.”

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

“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”

“One of the top off-leash dog parks in central Auckland, this well maintained gem offers a peaceful escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. It’s an ideal spot for dogs and their owners to unwind and enjoy some quality time away from the crowds.”

“An easy walk to the beach at Fitzpatrick Bay in Chatswood There is a large grassed area by the beach which makes it a perfect place for a swim Dogs will love the off-leash area at the beach walk offers great views over the Upper Waitematā Harbour”

“Really enjoyed the kauri centennial park and Beach. So close to the city but so nice and quiet. Stunning color of the water. Good leg day / cardio work out too”

“This was our second stay in the villas. We really like the somewhat remote location (but not too remote), the quiet and the beautiful view from the villas. On clear nights, the sky is incredibly as there are not many other locations around. There are lots of birds to watch, and some are not even very shy. The villas are well equipped, nicely decorated and we appreciated the complimentary bottle of sparkling wine in the fridge during our current stay. The beds are very comfortable and the bathroom is spacious and provides wonderful bathroom products. We would definitely choose this location again. There are two things that might be worth improving: 1. The pool is always covered to avoid having to deal with falling leaves in the water. You have to uncover it any time you want to use it and cover it again after use. As a guest, this does not come across as very welcoming and it would be more convenient if someone to opened it in the morning and covered it at night. 2. If you stay for more than one or two nights, it would be nice if someone would exchange towels or bring extra towels and take out the trash. We did not expect that there was no service at all during our stay and this should be communicated more clearly.”

“Shout out to Sarah, Tane and the team. Thank you for being consistent an showing up. CL has a great family vibe offers safety, fun and a place to relax. My mokos truly appreciate their time there..”

“⸻ This playground features many snake-like slides, and my son had a great time weaving through the various tunnels and pipes. The seaside location offers beautiful views, and there’s plenty of sand to play in. Overall, it’s a fantastic place for kids to explore and enjoy!”

“We love it here, hubbys fave place to walk”

“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”

“I love taking my dog there. We go after 5pm. My son who lives up the walkway from beach takes his dog b4 10am. It's off leash as well. All dogs are well socialized that are off leash. Very safe.”

“Really great pool hall, extremely well priced to play pool, the food is a bit on the pricier side, but it is really high quality and tasty. Had the $31 burger which was never going to be the best value, but it was very nice. Had the ribs last time and the pizza too, all very nice. Some of the best thick cut fries I’ve had. Really great place, a local favourite.”

“Such a lovely playground! Smaller area suited to younger children. Lots of shady spots to picnic. A nice little track for riding bikes too!”

“Auckland Zoo is an easy standout. The staff and volunteers are genuinely friendly and make the whole place feel welcoming. The animals look well cared for and the habitats are clean and well maintained. Plenty to keep the kids entertained with lots of space to explore and learn. Also, the coffee at the front cafe is surprisingly good which is always a win. A smooth, enjoyable visit from start to finish. Great place for families. Parking was closed due to renovations, so we had to park near MOTAT. Nice walk through the park though.”

“Beautiful setting and environment. Children play ground as well as walking tracks, one of which leads down to water front. Grounds gets very soggy on wet winters, this is so to the basketball court, paly ground, refer photos. Good summer picnic spot, quite and a hidden gem.”

“Great little park...mini bush walk and playground, and need to mention the Tui's.”

“Great service, helpful staff, convenient location! Unit was clean and tidy the shower pressure was amazing!!”

“So far pretty good. The teachers are nice and patient. It must be hard to manage "little people". The place is very warm and clean. The ladies at the reception are super friendly.”
