Public pools & Water park in Auckland

“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”

“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.”

“⸻ 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”

“Such an awesome place to enjoy swimming. Went there as a parent helper for school swimming lesson. A 90min free parking available.”

“My son(4years old) improved his swimming skill a lot from the amazing instructors. Full 30 mins session, no time wasting like council pools. Absolutely enjoying my son swimming skill after I joined him in Hilton Brown Albany.”

“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.”

“My daughter and I chose to stay with Urban Butler during our recent trip to Auckland. The Apartment far exceeded our expectations, in fact we wished we were staying another night just to enjoy the accommodation for longer! The step by step instructions provided by Jon meant everything was hassle free. We would definitely book again in a heart beat. Highly recommended to all.”

“Great customer service from all the staff especially the receptionist. I signed up for an adult swim class with Morgan. He was very patient to us and always does his best to correct our form and techniques. I didn't realize that learning swimming even as an adult could be this fun. The place is always clean and the water is really warm.”

“Wonderful customer service...went over and above to make sure we were happy with teak dining table and bench. Excellent quality and extremely happy with our purchase and I'm super fussy! Thank you so much!!”

“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.”

Not only did she help us pick something out for our birthday boy, but she wrapped it so beautifully for a small fee! AMAZING SERVICE!!!”

“A great start to walking. Medium fitness required. Some steps and roughly a 20min walk. Around 2km. Lots of native birds, watch out for the falling seeds. Wood pigeon and Tui’s dog friendly. Suitable for a family. Kids under 5 should be closely supervised as there are some steep drops and no rails. Beautiful on a sunny morning. Make sure you clean your shoes on the way in and coming out.”

“Local, Christmas lights at Jellicoe.”

“Love this park! Usually a night market on the weekends and plenty of space for kids, playgrounds, basketball courts, and even flat ground skatepark with some mini ramps. They also host events here like Matariki!”

“This is a little secret but worth to go to. Take the walk from the city to these ruins... really lovely !! The photo below is a model sen at the Parry Jauri museum....”

“Lovely park. Nice shade in the summer in between the trees.”

“Very nice and large park in the busy Onehunga area. The flora are well maintained and the walkways are nicely curated. The location is easily accessible and ample parking is available on the streets. Public toilets are available and are nicely maintained. A large sized fountain is also installed in here. A decent sized children's play area is there, which attracts a lot of kids. Proximity to the Onehunga pools is an added advantage. Well recommended.”
