1 / 2Te Oka / Point Erin Park
📍 Westhaven, Auckland
Outdoor aquatic park with a pool, hydroslide, spa pool, and inflatable course set against harbour and bridge views. Entry is free for children, with a playground, BBQ facilities, basketball court, and off-leash dog areas alongside.
Well that was a bit of a surprise 😮 I went for an early morning walk 🚶♀️ at a beautiful off leash 🐕 park and then smack in the middle of the park was an open air swimming 🏊♀️ pool! It was so unexpected 😲 I quickly went and got my togs 🩱from the car 🚗 (I often have a spare pair). The water 💧 in the main pool was cool and refreshing 😎 There is a spa as well. There were no bubbles 🫧 but the water was nice and warm ☺️ There are lots of picnic benches and umbrellas ⛱️ with BBQ facilities, lockers, outdoor shower, hydroslide, sun loungers, and changing rooms. The pool is very shallow, with 0.5m - 1m. I guess 🤷 it's more geared towards kids 👶🧒 and lane swimmers 🏊♂️ The spa was 1.2m, but the seating is so high, your feet 👣 don't touch the ground, and you're more than halfway out of the water 💧 Unfortunately the pool is completely uncovered so when the sun came 🌞 I left. With a bit of adjustment, it was actually a lovely 😍 dip. The casual rate is $8 per adult, and they have togs on sale for those who stumbled upon it, like me 😆 The park itself is also beautiful ❤️ There are dog friendly off leash areas, with paved walkways 🚶♀️incredible views over the harbour and a play area 🛝
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Reviewers describe stumbling onto a full outdoor pool complex with sweeping harbour and Sky Tower views as a genuine surprise. The shallow depth suits young swimmers, and the slides, inflatables, BBQs, and playground make a half-day outing easy. Staff are helpful and BBQ rental includes clean-up — post-swim dinner at the park is straightforward.

“Wonderful spot right next to the Ocean. The swimming pools are free for kids 16 and under for memory and it's pretty cheap for adults or spectators. If you want to use the diving boards in the deep dive pool I think it's a few dollars, otherwise kids swim free. We rented the BBQ and brought food in for dinner which was awesome as the kids ate and went straight back to swimming..easy week night summer entertainment that costs next to nothing. Staff were really helpful and the BBQ rental also includes it being cleaned by staff...too easy!”
