📍 Porirua City Centre, Wellington
Trust Porirua Aquatic Recreation Centre houses a 25-metre lap pool, wave and leisure pool with beach-style entry, hydroslide, lazy river, dedicated toddler pool, spas, sauna and steam room. Café on site. Pram access throughout.
Nice pools that are fun for the whole family at all levels. Good prices that include wave pool, hydro slide, spas for kids and 16+ and sauna & steam room. Nice cafe that has yummy ice cream and food. Great service all round and cool they put on activities like manu platform and inflatable course during school holidays.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
The combination of wave pool, hydroslide and lazy river means different ages stay engaged across the same visit. The toddler pool and beach entry make it workable from infant age. Spas and steam room give adults a reason to stay as kids keep swimming. Busiest on weekends — mid-week visits offer more space.

Overview
The wave pool and hydroslide draw school-age swimmers; beach-style entry and the toddler pool suit the youngest visitors. The 25-metre lap pool runs alongside the leisure facilities. A café serves food and ice cream. Seasonal inflatable courses run periodically inside the centre. Pram access is available throughout. Reviewers flag that the main pool area can feel compact at busy periods — arriving mid-week avoids peak crowds.
