Public pools & Water park in Hamilton

“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”

“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.”

“Obviously very beautiful place. Only experienced surfers can surf here. Really cool to watch surfers shredding the waves”

“Such a unique place at the heart of Hamilton! I initially thought this would like any other botanical gardens but I was wrong. The concept of having different themed gardens (Japanese, Italian, Chinese, Indian) was quite refreshing to see and that made the whole experience unique and engaging throughout the visit. Highly recommend if you’re looking to take professional photos as the garden has a lot of color and diverse options.”

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

“Awesome place a bit busy now and then but overall very nice Great for trying to teach kids the road rules (keep to the left)”

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

“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.”

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

“Wonderful story of Arboretums history. Lovely walk around - about 2 hrs with kids. Plenty art installations to see. Lovely Cafe with cake & ice cream. There's also Ruru Retreat - a cottage on site you can book through booking .com ( recommended).”

“Team Sandy & Tulio Jones did an excellent job. Very professional and great communication. Work done on time with no hassle. It looks amazing. Thank you so much. Highly recommend to everyone.”

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

“Never heard about this waterfall before and just spotted it on the way from Tauranga to Auckland. Really cool waterfall. Not huge but still decent size. Went here in winter on a lightly raining day, so there it was not busy at all.”

“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”

“Great two hour stop. We did the windows walk. This included approximately 100 man made steps. Dark and wet mining tunnels ( bring a light and waterproof shoes). Part of the lower track is closed, so to make it a loop take the Battery track back. We didn't and got to do the 100 steps all over again! Two suspension bridges to cross to get there. One has a lot of bounce! Easy parking with a toilet. Probably a 3 out of 10 on strenuous ( only because of the stairs). Not handicap friendly. Bad knees; beware.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Great location, lot of things to play on for all age groups”

“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!!”

“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!”

“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 ❤️”

“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.”

“This is a pretty little urban lake with plenty of free parking so you can enjoy the loop track and walk around the whole lake!”

“Lovely little playground with the beautiful temple in the background. I love the symbolic bee theme throughout.”

“It is a beautiful lake n easy walk way.”

“This is a camping site for all vehicles, close to the Rugby club, maintained by the local domain. Te Kauwhata is only about an hour drive from Auckland airport. A 5 dollar donation is requested for, quite justifiable, as the area has toilets, sink and a dumping station besides a cafe. Though the area for camping is marked, vehicles were seen in parking lots other than member lots. Tents were also seen.”

“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!”
