1 / 3Westland Recreation Centre
đ Greymouth, West Coast
Best for a rainy West Coast afternoon with kids of mixed ages. Greymouth's council recreation centre has a lap pool, shallow kids' pools, hydroslides, a spa and sauna, plus a gym and sports stadium under the same roof.
My son takes private swimming lessons here, all the staff are great, and the pools are amazing, awsome to see a spa pool and sauna too. The hidroslides are a hit with the tamaiki.
đ Family Action Verdict
The reliable wet-day answer in Greymouth: toddlers get shallow pools, primary kids get the hydroslides, and you get a sauna. Under-fives cannot ride the slides and five to seven year olds need a caregiver on the slide with them, so plan who goes with whom. Do not build the visit around the spa; it is a warm shallow pool.

âBeautiful spot for refreshing with nice slides, humble staff, and good vibes. Definitely recommend coming to recharge during your NZ South Island West Coast trip.â
Jane Streff
âStopped in for a lap swim. Inexpensive ($3 US Senior rate). Nice pool and several lanes were free on this Saturday afternoon. Warm shower was a bonus!â
Mindy Millist
âThe pools are pretty good. Everything you need in a pool. I like the spa, the sauna, and the line pool. They are good for self care.â

Overview
The Westland Recreation Centre on High Street is Greymouth's council-run pool complex. There is a lap pool with lanes kept free most of the day, shallow pools for small children, hydroslides that are the main draw for primary-age kids, and a spa and sauna for the grown-ups, with a gym and a multi-court stadium alongside. It opens early and closes late on weekdays. Reviews call the staff friendly and the place clean; the spa gets described as a shallow warm pool rather than a jetted soak.
