Outdoor pool in Wellington

“It has a few different pools for different functions, national games are usually held in the large pool including water polo, kayak polo and so on. They also offer swim classes for kids and adults. There's a sauna and spa too. The baby pool is separated from the toddler and kids pool. Ample carpark at the back with a smaller carpark at the front entrance. It is located right next to the library.”

“A Wellington CBD classic. Come see the bureaucrats eat lunch. Watch the shoppers rest. Marvel at the afternoon drinkers. Join the lunchtime crowd. Peak at the workers scuttling into the tower. You know you want.”

“The old dam outlet pipe runs through this tunnel. About a 18 minute walk up from Johnsonville park, the tunnel is located just to the left of the track before you reach the ridge. The tunnel length is approximately 30m till you reach the brick up end of the tunnel. You will need a torch or phone light.”

“I have been taking swimming lessons with Ben since September 2020. I was really scared of the water even though I love the beach and the idea of being able to swim. So I decided to take swimming lessons with Benoit and I am an adult swimmer. He is an excellent teacher when it comes to swimming, he listens to you and shows guidance according to your fitness, confidence and your ability. He has an efficient way of communicating and to teach swimming. I would highly recommend Ben from my experience. I can completely do all the breastroke, freestyle and backstyle now. And still taking lessons with him in order to improve and compete.”

“My child has made great progress since starting with Easyswim at Newtown. The teachers are really effective and keep the kids on task while making it fun for them. The pool is a good size for primary and intermediate age kids learning to swim, and is clean and warm. The swimming school is very professionally run and good to deal with.”

“The instructors are well trained and really good with the children. I would highly recommend the individual classes at the early stages. At least until your child is swimming lengths.”

“We've been coming here weekly for about 7 months. The teachers are so patient , kind and engaging. We have mostly had Tegan and shes wonderful.My 3 year old has been happy and learning so much! The water is lovely and warm, definitely helps the kids enjoyment and willing to participate. I've done lessons at a public pool that was always freezing (think babies with blue lips) but Fulton is basically like swimming in a warm bath. Well worth the cost. We do lessons on a Wednesday and it's also super quiet.”

“New playground installed with Flying Fox, eels in the river, nature walk & train Station”

“Great indoor sporting facility that can be set up for a variety of games. When I was there, there were 12 Volleyball courts on 1 side and a number of futsal courts on the other. Offices and meeting rooms are upstairs and the open passage way that runs the length of the building is a great place for taking video and photos to give an overview of the games.”

“Beautiful scenery, public toilets that get locked in evening but one open all night. We had a peaceful evening. Restaurant at the carpark. Only one night for freedom campers they do come check.”

“Looking for LOTR locations?, this is your place”

“A superb park, well laid out with great planning. The planting attracts birds of all types including the rowdy Tui. Great water features. Plenty of spacious parking and electric car charging posts. Toilets suffer from vandals but usable”

“Great venue for exhibitions! Good facilities for organisers, exhibitors, and attendees. I’ve been to many exhibitions at Walter Nash.”

“We took our two mokopuna to Adrenaline Forest today. The eldest has been a couple of times and was confident after his briefing to get started. The younger was less so but certainly gave it his best. They both succeeded and had a great time. My thanks to the staff who supported my mokos in particular but were attentive to all. Clear safety instructions showing exactly how to use the equipment; and just the right encouragement when one of my boys got stuck. A reminder of the basics and gentle but firm guidance from the ground. All the reassurance that was needed and our moko carried on again. No doubt the boys will be back and their koro and I will be happy to accompany them. Ngā mihi ki a koutou...”

“Mind blown by the place and arena. Fantastic services available, good parking. Round about was quite congested when we left. It would help if people knew their road rules.”

“Pataka is so good. they’re very open with diverse artists, especially Māori & Pasifika. a lot of their art have political meanings, which is awesome. there’s an interactive play room for children, easy to get around too”

“Looked after our school group really well. They were awesome, very professional and fun, and the kids (and staff who joined in) loved it. Would definitely come back.”

“Great place to bring the kids around for lil picnic with the great view, playground from toddler year 2-5. Near the beach, clean toilet with paid parking car near the pool.”

“Excellent facility in Karori. New Circuit style sessions on Tuesdays and a Pump class midweek evenings and again on a saturday - Instructors are friendly, focussed. Worth booking in at the Rec for.”

“Awesome spot to catch a couple of phat kahawai, the odd cod, a gurnard or two, etc. Well set up, with heaps of rod holders, a bait station, and good lighting for a night fish.”

“Good for children in the summer time to enjoy the water and family can sit and watch children who are having a ball.”

“absolutely beautiful river spot”

“Hidden jewel if you love action sports or being active when Wellington weather is acting up”

“Been coming here for 40 years.. I'm pretty sure ...nothing else Needs be said about it..lol Stay away it's all mine lol hehehe”
