Ōtaki Pool
Located on the grounds of Haruātai Park, our Ōtaki Pool caters for all ages and aquatic abilities. For fun whatever the weather, join in our SPLASH! sessions, book a birthday party, and check out our Aquafitness programme and upcoming events.
In the summer, our tamariki love our free-to-use splashpad and our slippery slope Te Mania Auheke, which runs most days through the summer school holidays (normal pool admission charges apply). And don't forget to sign up for our Summer Intensive Learn to Swim lessons in January.
