Swimming Pool
Albany Stadium Pools
Albany Stadium Pool is an Auckland Council facility built firmly around family fun in the water. The centrepiece is the leisure pool, where kids can scramble across an over-the-pool rock wall, fire water cannons, bounce on inflatables, and spill into the splash pad — a non-slip water play area loaded with interactive features. A warm toddler pool (31°C) and a 20-metre programmes pool round out the water offer, while a 39°C adult spa gives grown-ups somewhere to decompress while younger swimmers tire themselves out.

What it is
Accessibility is taken seriously here: the leisure pool has ramp entry, water wheelchairs are available, and a hoist provides spa access. An accessible changing room sits on the ground floor, with lift access to the fitness centre.
The centre also has a gym, small group fitness classes, and a café at reception. Children and young people aged 16 and under have free access to all Auckland Council pools, making this one of the more wallet-friendly ways to send the whole family home happily worn out.
What other parents say
Found our new favorite hangout! We just checked out Albany Stadium Pool, and it’s an absolute gem—and only a 9-minute drive from our place! The entire facility is super clean, and the staff are incredibly friendly. Both of my sons had a blast. It literally has space for all ages, featuring: - A great-sized pool for swimming laps. - A section deep enough for dive practice. - An awesome wall-climbing section right by the water! - Perfectly warm water, plus a clean spa and sauna to relax in. Safe to say this is going to be our regular weekend spot. #FamilyTime #AlbanyStadiumPool #AucklandLife #WeekendVibes #FitFam
Really great place – happy to come back again and again. The staff are genuinely amazing! The reception team are always friendly and helpful. The facility itself is excellent, with a sauna, spa pool, adult pool, kids pool, toddler area, and a lane pool for swimming. One helpful tip – the last kids session finishes at 7pm, so if you want a quieter swim with adults only, go after 7. Also, it’s worth calling ahead before you go, as even if it shows as open, unexpected situations can sometimes happen. Highly recommend.

Nice place to take the kids for a swim. The pool has a fun water feature with a kids’ slide, and there’s a small café for snacks. Lockers are available for just $2. Plenty of toilets and changing rooms. There’s also a rock climbing wall, spa, and sauna. The spa was packed with older people, so there wasn’t much space to sit.
Took two of my nieces aged 6 & 9, that were here for the school holidays from Melbourne. They had a wonderful time, lots of activities to keep them occupied.
Nice pools if you go when quiet - programmes/lane pool is a little small and the slower lanes are quite shallow so if you're tall you risk hitting the floor, pool is generally better for leisure/practice/rehab rather than professional swims. Its also very warm for a lane pool! I think 30° something! They have a dedicated walking lane, slow-fast lanes and a rehab/slow lane. Rules kind of go out the window a bit with people walking in the slow lane etc but no harm done - only people swimming in med-fast lanes. Website usually up to date with closures etc. Leisure pool has a nice deep section to aqua jog and is also lovely and warm. Toddlers area looks fab for kids and smaller bubs. Changing rooms are European style and gender neutral, I couldn't find a private shower space, just the rinse showers which is fine just be prepared to shower in your togs next to other folks. People are generally polite and respectful during the week days when I've been.
