Point Erin Pools — Attraction in Waitematā

It's been 30+ years since visiting PT Erin pools as a young adult now as a grand parent bringing to pools. There has been some great changes to the pools with added playground outside PT Erin and toilet facilities. Bbq areas enclose areas. Changing rooms and foyer with mini food outlet. I suppose there has to be a profit made as hotdogs , chips bit pricey mind you coffee price is reasonable when it's available. You can bring your own food so that is a bonus and giving back to PT Erin to keep its doors open is worth the 50cents-/ $1.00 increase for the community and visitors. Adding a slide over the years, the swim lanes, and hydro mini circuit, basketball court, not bad for PT Erin that has made its landmark in the area after many years since its opening. On the flip side spa pool is great but can be a little more temperature up so you can experience a great soak at the same size relaxing temperature for all. Kids join in the same spa as adults maybe a reinvestment for a children's spa at the temperature that caters for children with supervision and a adults spa at a much warmer temperature therapeutic for all adults. Showers are the same with changing rooms, still ok but need to look at smell when heaverily accommodated need a roster to clean facilities or spray down 2-3 times a day during our stay no hygiene clean was done and we were here from 9-1pm closes 8pm opens 6am. Great Park and walkway outside PT Erin also with a dog walking area, as Carpark is available it gets full fast so you have to park outside on the main road. Parking gets full around 10.30 onwards. I give credit to its staff members as they are visible in all areas of the pool and facilities which makes appreciation to there assistance noted. Pricing is reasonable for all $3.00 for activities slides, doughnut, dive board etc. Under 16yrs free unless you want to go on the available activities including spa pool $3.00 or you pay adult price that equates to using all the equipment. Reasonable pricing. If you haven't been try it out with your family, friends etc. If you are revisiting after a long while would come again changes are good. Well it's been great for the kids and have to say even myself. So venture out and see and if this is not enough look on their website for more in site. Just one more notice during holidays it is packed so if you do not want to be in a long queue can be half hour or more do what we did and go early first thing in the morning and you have access to the pools and spa for at least 2-3hrs before it starts being packed. Oh yes slides, dives open normally around 11am if pool is not enough. Great time...

Amazing outdoor pools with water slides and two diving platforms where you can dive bomb or Manu. If there early you can get a carport and pick of the tables with shade unless already booked, which you can also do. Toddler pool, large spa and swimming lanes. They also put out an Aqua Run, which all kids and even adults love. Gets crowded from about 11am, and when we left at 3pm, people still coming in as it closes at 8pm.bbq's available to hire too. They café is basic, like the old tuck shop. No Cafe sitting at tables and fried chips, hot dogs and ice cream, the usual basics except nice espresso coffee. Changing rooms are great, you can still have a free hot shower and they are kept clean and not scungy, like, some council ones I have seen. The staff and lifeguards are alert and friendly. Would definitely...

This place is as popular as ever and much the same. Hadn't been here for several years but went to celebrate my granddaughters 9th birthday. We took small BBQ in and went t to set it up only to be told we couldn't use it. Would've been helpful if they'd told us when we paid to come in. Don't understand why people would set their gazebos up under the shade depriving shade for those who didn't have anything. Toilets need a scrub but overall good experience. Can't say much about staff - counter, friendly and got through long line of waiting swimmers. "Life-savers" behaved more like crowd control. Sorry, can't really see venue itself in the pic but I guess let's you know...
