Throughout the summer the whole family can enjoy Pt Erin's outdoor recreation facilities. A large main pool, diving well (with slide and diving boards), spa pool, sauna, basketball and volleyball court, barbecue area and children's playground are nestled among pohutukawa trees. There is plenty of room to spread out on the surrounding grass, or relax in the sun on the reclining deck chairs.

The facility has breathtaking views of the Waitemata Harbour and Auckland Harbour Bridge. It is the perfect place for the family, providing a welcoming opportunity to relax, enjoy, make friends, keep fit and learn to swim.

Community Leisure Management (CLM) operates and manages Pt Erin Pool on behalf of Auckland City Council.
