1 / 3McKenzie Baths Summer Pool
â Temporarily Closedđ Petone, Wellington
Best for families wanting an affordable outdoor swim with a real community feel. A go-to summer evening spot where you can cool off after work and stay on for a poolside BBQ.
The summer destination this year. Fun for all the family. Have now made it a habit to go here after work. It is only a 15 minute walk from Petone train station, then jump in to cool off with the family. The BBQ is first on first serve, so make an evening of it and grab some sausage or steaks for dinner.
đ Family Action Verdict
McKenzie Baths Summer Pool is a fantastic warm-weather destination for families of all ages looking for an affordable and social outdoor swim. It suits active families who enjoy making an evening of it with BBQ dinners poolside, and the clean facilities and friendly staff make it welcoming for kids and adults alike.

âGreat place to spend summer. Staffs are friendly.â

âNice pool right here in Petone. $4 per adult is a good price. Even though it feels a waste, given the fact it's open just few weeks per year as, nz summer, is well known for being not very summerish". Recommendâ

Overview
An easygoing outdoor pool that's become a summer ritual for plenty of Petone families, who wander down from the train station after work to cool off and stay on for a BBQ dinner poolside. The facilities are clean, the staff are the sort who remember your kids, and there's a genuine community buzz - it's the kind of place the council and local police put on a sausage sizzle for the school road patrollers. Budget-friendly entry makes it an easy yes on a hot evening.
