Public pools in Auckland

“Awesome staff special thanks to peta and clean pool”

“Professional pool builders, who pride themselves on their attention to detail.”

“Concrete: Smooth Obstacles: Some beginner stuff. But it's mostly for an intermediate plus level of skillsets. It's got good park flow. Clean lines with plenty of space, not being too far apart or too crowded between obstacles. This park felt like a playground to me. It didn't look like much at first. But once I started playing with different lines, I realized it was set up in a way you can do a lot as you can go from one side to the other, back to back and keep your momentum. Maintenance: - Very clean - No Graffiti - No tripping hazards - Well maintained Parking: Plenty of free parking.”

“My favourite leisure centre by far - the gym has all you need, plus having the sauna and pool for recovery is ideal. Special mention to Alex up in the gym - super welcoming guy with buckets of knowledge, charisma, and a friendly demeanour to boot!”

“Cornwall Park looks absolutely stunning during cherry blossom season! The trees are full of delicate pink blooms, and it’s such a peaceful, scenic place to walk around or take photos. However, it can get very crowded on weekends with lots of people doing photoshoots. I’d suggest visiting on a weekday or early morning if you want a quieter experience and better photos. Definitely worth the visit!”

“Muriwai Beach is a breathtaking natural wonder! The rugged black sand, and powerful waves make it a must-visit. Great for walks, photography, and just admiring the scenery. Remember to be careful near the water.”

“Piha Beach is a very popular beach for both tourists and local residents. My husband and I have been to Piha Beach for several times and we both love the views there. We enjoyed the great view there and the delicious real fruit ice cream at Cones On The Beach which is just opposite to Piha Mid Beach. We highly recommend you to go there at daytime, but only night time.”

“The rocky area is beautiful and there are many natural birds here. Nearby is a long wide beach, strong wind. There are many parking areas around, can park camvan. From the parking lot to the view point is quite close and easy to walk.

“My daughter has been going off and on since she was a baby and Rebecca and her staff made the process so easy and fun. They keep the environment nice and warm which helps with transition in and out of the pool. Just an overall great swim school.”

“This track was mean but lots of stairs awesome views once at the top”

“Ideal for dogs and owners on a nice warm day. Small walk till you get to the stream and beach area. Very safe and open space for dogs to play. Probably the best dog area in Auckland!”

“Great hidden beach on a gravel road but still not too far form auckland CBD.we were lucky enough to see this beautiful place on our last day in NZ and it did not disappoint. Decent fishing from the multiple rock locations with a handful of streams that the kids can play in (water is hot if the weather is). Definitely worth checking out”

“my son has improved so much in the last term. the swim instructor he has is amazing. highly recommend this swim school”

“Awesome place to be and really nice walking track with great views”

“This is a family friendly farm. We used to take kids here for the family day. It’s also the start for Watercare coastal walkway. There is a barn here plus two car parks, a shelter, toilets, BBQ spots and camping grounds. There are farm animals such as sheep, lamb and horses.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”
