Onehunga War Memorial Pool

So disappointing, iv been coming here for over 20 years and the pools have extremely declined in cleanliness and hygiene I remember the toilets years ago being clean and smelling like bleach not urine, I was horrified going into the woman’s bathroom to have a shower and get dressed, there was hair all over the ground - big balls of it in the shower, rubbish on the ground smelt disgusting, mould on the walls just not maintained regularly or cleaned properly. The outdoor pool had hair all in it little stones and plasters on the ground. Stream room was properly the only clean place, sauna only one heater working so it’s actually not a hot sauna needs to be fixed, the spa was just disgusting I didn’t even go In it, you can see dead skin on the side of spa, it needs a good clean. Needs a good upgrade

Appalling conditions, the place is run down because of the lack of cleanliness. Black mould on white tiles in the steam room and green slime around the windows next to the spa pool. There is often a stench in the steam and dry sauna due to lack of care and cleaning. They have been politely told by regular customers for a long time but nothing changes. Used to be a great place to go, but for health reasons I avoid now like the plague!

Outdoor pool area is great for kids, they have 2 diving boards, and 2 slides. Lots of tables for picnics but based on first in first serve. Indoor pool i find it too stuffy. Toilets/showers however need to be maintained, smelt like urine when we went.

I went today and loved the idea of the place - outdoor pool with spa facility and sauna etc. Front reception was lovely but the lifeguards weren’t monitoring and people repeatedly went from the sauna or steam bath to the jacuzzi. The first time I saw this I mentioned it to the lifeguards. They said gross and would speak to the girl. She was still in the jacuzzi and ignored them. I didn’t see them say anything to the woman and thereafter I watched it happen several times. Also plenty of people in cloths not swimwear so overall have an unclean feeling. Price was cheapest so far in NZ at $7 so that was a plus.

Ellie Stewart One of the personal Trainers was instructing lateral push downs, which you can do with an ever head cable. I wanted to do cable flys, for which you need the cable she was using. I asked politely and with a smile whether she would mind moving to the overhead cable. She responded in a rude and disrespectful way that no, she was using the cable and would not move, not even for me to work in with her. I apologise for a bad review to the rest of the staff who are lovely and kind, but cannot give a positive review with Ellie having been disrespectful to a customer. I am disappointed. Love the rest of the staff

Onehunga pools are my childhood, my son swam here as a kid and with his friends, my partner loves it, and I bring my school holiday programme years later! Summer is the best for the outdoors pools then winter indoors with sauna, steam room and spa! They have picnic tables & bbq area good for family times!! I use the pools for fitness swimming for years love them! Great aqua fit class, and the service too! There’s also a gym too. Only busy when the swimming lessons are on......... in the mornings There’s also a great big park/playground outside opposite the pools for picnics & families with lots of grass space and trees and lots of car parks! Renovations are on at the moment yay can’t wait until it’s finished will look the best in Auckland!!!

Went for a swim in the outdoor pool but didn’t stay long as it was gross. Milky coloured water, plasters and every stroke you had hair running around though your fingers. Whole place needs a clean.

Good basic swimming pool. There is a large lane pool and a warmer toddler/family pool inside. The change rooms are very small and hard to navigate with a stroller. Definitely could do with a renovation. But the kids had a great time splashing around in the toddler pool area. Was nice and relaxed trip out.

The place is great and has a lot of potential but: It is very dirty. Pool surroundings are black, changing rooms and toilets very smelly, pools full of hair and other floating stuff. Lifeguards are useless, lack of professionalism and don't impose compliance with the rules. Bombing, no photos, togs policy... it doesn't matter, everyone does what they want, just music and laughs. The place needs a lot of work, a lot of waterblasting and a dosis of seriousness and formality.

Terrible no signs about theft in the changing rooms. Some low lifes stole my sport shoes this morning. I took my bag at other things into the shower. Luckily otherwise it would have been Much worse. Be extremely religion in the changing rooms. Do not leave your clothes our shoes in there. Take them into the shower lots of opportunities coming into this pool. The extremely diligent used the lockers. And keep all your stuff in the shower with you. Sorry if it gets wet much safer though. Very unhappy. Have been to many pools this is the first time i've had my shoe stolen In the changing room while stoppers in the shower. Have complained to the staff About my theft of my shoes between nine and ten am in the morning Nothing has been done YET BE VERY VERY CARE FULL HERE NOT SAFE
