Public pools & Water park in Hamilton

“Awesome camp spot. Key points to remember: - Get there early. It can get very busy, very quickly - Parking. There are a lot of people who use this carpark as a day park for the hikes and rides in the area. And the carpark is not big. So keep calm, and keep trying. - There is no "fresh water source" as such. It's water from the river. - You cannot camp next to you car. You will need to carry your gear. ( It's not too far. But something to remember) - There are a LOT of little pockets of campsites. From the carpark you cannot see them all, so keep looking!”

“Walk my dog here most days, awesome area for daily exercise, only thing that ruins it, are people ripping up the grass on dirtbikes.”

“Awesome place. Hot shower and playground for kids”

“A nice place to shop and the staff are very helpful.”

“Great place for the dogs to run around”

“Love this place for a quiet walk, can finish the loop in about 1 hour. Have to park on the roadside, no specific parking space”

“Beautiful campsite, popular with big families with kids staying for up to two weeks in big tents, dog friendly, water only from the river. Lots of nice day walks to do in the area, the Windows walk is worth it!”

“Birdsong, natural beauty, an easy path, this is a fabulous walk. Perfect bike ride for 5 year olds. Dogs allowed, on leads. Surprises provided by creative maimai and artistic fairy houses. Picnic areas by the main car park and rest seats around the lake, allow us to soak in the views. Loved it.”

“I rate this mitre 10. Everytime I've been here I've left with what I need and some. Today I went in for some pots totaling $400 but they were discounted down to only $80. And the last time I went I was just getting some charcoal and they had $1000 umbrellas down to $250 because the box was damaged. The staff are always super helpful and friendly. And the bbq section is always well stocked.”

“Friendly. Helpful. Broad stock range. Will use again. Ample parking.”

“Love this place. My kid has been swimming here since she was about 3 or so months, and I have seen her grow up there. All the staff there are really friendly and now they really well. Now she is in mini squad and doesn't want to leave.”

“$1.50 for hot, clean, and spacious showers”

“This playground is superb, fairly recently refurbished, although some of the equipment is in need of repair, the flying fox used to be a fun double, but looks like it's been decommissioned. There is an in ground bouncy pad that's been boarded up. Still plenty to do though, water play and slides. There is a pump track around the playground, and a full size BMX track next door. There are also some walking tracks around the lake if you feel like a stroll. Watch out for little kids gravitating towards the water. With the water backdrop it's the most picturesque playground in hamilton for sure! We saw a sign to some toilets behind the netball courts, but unsure if they are open to the public.”

“great experience with little kids they provide large basket and bags for blueberries”

“Definitely recommend, quite unique experience. Note that you cannot take photos inside. It's coldish but not that much. A light long sleeve blouse over usual summer clothes will do. Consider that boat is wet.”

Te Rapa Tavern-Sports Bar delivers a burger‑led line‑up that’s straight to the point. Pricing lines up with the offer. Portions are generous yet well judged. Buns hold well and patties come juicy.

“This kids playground would have to be the most interactive kids (and adults) park I have ever seen. We were there for approximately 40 minutes and didn't get to cover everything. This was mainly due to the little 3 y/o was having so much fun with what he had come across. So many activities. No photos to share,,, to busy keeping up with the 3 y/o.”

“Shout out to Roger. Friendly, knowledgeable bloke in the paint department. Listened to my project and advised me accordingly on everything I needed. Very lucky to have found him on the day I went in.”

“Amazing time always go down with my dog one hundred percent recommend”

“It was Amazing to see a mini real steam locomotive”

“It was a wonderful experience on the occasion of Matiarki day.lots if fun,a small train ride,cultural deference ,and food is also so delicious.”

“Lovely little trail that you can walk and make more challenging by going up the little hills or keep it easy by just walking in a loop. The views are breathtaking and there are so many different birds to look for!”

“The team at Petstock Leamington are great to deal with. They will make sure you and your animals are well looked after.”

“Winter sports field with my moko. Awesome fields for soccer and cricket pitch as well”

“Very attractive family park. It has a walking track lots of open sunny areas as well as shady. Great place to walk your dogs, jog or walk. It also provides clean public toilets.”

“I recently found this place after 5 years of living in NZ. Not a bad place, quite relaxing. Thinking of setting off my kayaks from here but still a bit scared to do so. I think it would be nicer if there is free or coin barbeque spots here. Would attract more people and families”

“Excellent walk with amazing space for picnic. Feeding 10-15 huge eels is definitely the highlight”

“Great place for a picnic stop by the side of the mighty Waikato River. Easy access, turn from the SH. Clean toilets, boat ramp.”

“Awesome atmosphere. Kapahaka group from Taumarunui. Tranzit Bus Parking for Groups.”
