Public pools in Hamilton

“A very nice Walk along the river , scenic view, easy paveway , good for all ages , not a big park”

“walking down to Ann river park, it's a great space for picnics also better to do some up hill training you can go down and feed the ducks some oats. Their is a park bench you can sit on to enjoy the space so good when the sun is out for a spot of lunch. You can just watched the runners go by nice big open space. You get a good view great place to relax. There is a cycling trail it goes on. Please make use of the rubbish bin don't leave your rubbish flying around if you're walking a dog pick up the mess with a dog bag and put in the bin. Hamilton council regularly empty the bin. All the maintenance is done by them on the park bench on the footpath mowing the lawns thank you for giving us such a wonderful area to enjoy. All of the houses along hear keep their gardens in Tip Top shape it looks beautiful really enjoyed all the flowers. So from a local to locals enjoy the space look after it it's a privilege”

“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.”

“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.”

“This side of river walk and beach has become a go to place for a easy-going and peaceful evenings. In one word, lovely! Some snaps from winter and summer.”

“Awesome place. Hot shower and playground for kids”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“My moko loved this place,made a few friends here. Sadly not with us anymore but his friends remember him.”

“Awesome place for autumn weather! So love this as it is not too crowded my son enjoyed scooter here. Surely will be back it is just right beside the waikato museum.. good walking track and bike track.. can also just enjoy the view while also reading your fave book!”

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

“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”

“My son has absolutely thrived since coming to Ace swim school. The instructors really care about the children’s progress and treat each child as an individual. The small group sizes make a huge difference, and it’s quieter compared to the bigger swimming complexes which has helped my son focus. I highly recommend this place!”

“My brother Matthew did two terms of swimming lessons at Dolphinz. The teachers are kind and patient. Matthew is now a confident swimmer, capable of swimming in a pool that is way over his head. Heartfelt appreciation to all his teachers.”

“nice place for play and a nice place for a walk too”

“Nice park, clean, tidy lawns cut, playground, tables, walk along the river very nice”

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

“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”
