Public pools & Water park in Hamilton

“This journey was a profoundly enriching experience, a symphony of nature's finest offerings. The breathtaking panorama at the summit. Along the ascent, delightful companions in the form of cheerful fantail birds and other feathered friends flitted about, lending their joyful melodies to the journey.”

“What an awesome experience diving with Mark. He made sure we all had a fantastic time, is very patient and has a great sense of humour. We will be back!!”

“A beautifully laid out garden, it appears to be a very authentic representation of an Italian Renaissance Garden.”

“Amazing park for dogs, families or to exercise. Heaps of benches, paths and swings. The park is always full of dogs and it has a lot of natural beaches along the riverside. One of the best dog parks in New Zealand.”

“Our local park, got everything you need for a park. Simple and fun, plenty parking spots.”

“We did 6h and 15km hike with in total almost 1km up, starting Lowlevel loop track up to Waipapa Track all the wau upto Pukekohatu and then on the top along Old North-South route and down with Pylon Peak Track. This route only for very fit and experienced. Beautiful small tracks through many different Flora and Fauna. Marked routes but at times hard to found.”

“Did this on a bike without knowing how nice it was gonna be. Some hills are a bit rough if you haven't hopped on a bike in a decade and the kids pissed you off so much you hired a bike and went for a ride to only realise, you're the problem and go back home with a feed to make up for being impatient. But yeah cool track”

“Great park. Very popular. All sorts and sizes running around.”

“Very well maintained with a good variety of flowers. Built for the aristocracy to escape the harsh environment.”

“Allows dogs on leads. Has a dog run and walk way to Te Aroha. The park has facilities for water and emptying. Pay online. There is a custodian that frequents and a gentleman that sells homemade condiments. Love it here”

“Nice place to visit… Always Quiet. Good hiking experience, cool waterfalls. Birds chirping, and a good place to relax and think”

“A great day out! Our Track & Trail Cycle Adventures group of 9 riders stopped at Rhubarb Cafe, crossed the swing bridge at Arapuni and passed three hydro stations on our ride from Pokaiwhenua stream to Mangakino.”

“Our first time here! Definitely going back soon. Green. Peaceful. Relaxing. There's a gorgeous children's garden with a park and some water features to take a small dip and cool down. Lovely picnic area. Lots to see and great for getting those steps in. Great place!!”

“The children's playground I'd fabulous and offers children a safe place to play and exercise. There is a closed off area for smaller children to safely play.”

“Every time I visit, I feel like a great city.”

“A great place to visit. This time round went to the 'A Century of Modern Art'. This was exhibition did cost. Other areas are free for you to wonder. Highly recommend. The gift shop has great gifts. There is also a cafe available. Pictures of the exhibition and other parts of the gallery.”

“Such an awesome spot to check out! The bridge has amazing views over the gorge and the Waikato River definitely worth the stop if you’re in the area. It’s a bit of a hidden gem and not too crowded, which makes it even better. The walk across can be a little wobbly but that just adds to the fun. There’s also a nice short track nearby and a café close by for a coffee after. Great place for photos and a bit of adventure!”

“Had an amazing experience with Blasta Cars. The team was friendly, helpful, and made everything smooth from start to finish. The vehicle was in great condition and the overall service was genuinely professional. Highly recommend them for a hassle-free, positive experience!”

“Would do this all over again in a heartbeat! Our guides Pedro & Sasha were excellent. They provided booties, wetsuits & life vests as well as training via clear instructions. I never felt unsafe. The 7 meter (23 feet) drop was the highlight! Also enjoyed being able to jump in the rapids afterwards. Don’t hesitate-do it!!!”

“A magical place! I climb up carrying my toddler in my hiking carrier. There are quite a few steps but it's not difficult. Hour round trip with a snack and a break to soak in the 360 view up the top. Well worth it. 30 mins drive from central Hamilton. Will return again soon ❤️”

“Fastlane is such a perfect gym for people of all levels and abilities! There is such a wide range of people in the community but no matter where you are at everyone is so welcoming and kind! The class selection, cafe food/drinks, heated pool and friendly staff definitely make the experience so amazing!”

“They have an awesome community pool that the kids love to go down and swim and play in from the beginning of summer to the end of summer. Good amount of shade cover for the parents watching kids swim. Life guard always on duty when the pool is open. I think it’s $2 under under 12 and $4 over 12.”

“Have been a member here for 10 months and have really enjoyed it. Really friendly staff, great facilities and classes are great - really passionate teachers. Sauna is nice too. Gym itself is not too crowded even at peak times.”

“What an incredible way to spend the day. Loved seeing the families enjoying their day out, bombing off the Jetty, and swimming in the beautiful water. I'm disappointed I never found this place until now, Such a jem!!”

“Power camp site. Great location. Cycle, walk enjoy the open green space. Cafe”

“Lovely, quiet spot. 2 toilets and 2 showers with a boat ramp into the river. Beautiful spot”
