Combine standout facilities and outdoor adventures with a charming parkside setting and you have the Birkenhead Pool and Leisure Centre.
From indoor rock climbing gym to outdoor heated pool, from fitness centre with a 'bash-a-giant-tyre' difference to a high ropes course, there's nothing run-of-the-mill about this centre.
Need even more good times? We're also custodians of a skate park and a pump track — and we're proud to be home base to a fully mobile Education Outside the Classroom (EOTC) team and service.
Our outdoorsy, challenge-loving team welcome your enquiries. You can use the contact us form or, even better, pop in so we can show you around our fab facility.
Auckland’s premier rock climbing wall
Indoor rock climbing is exhilarating, challenging, healthy and fun!
All ages, levels and abilities are welcome. Our awesome instructors will make sure you know what to do and that you’re completely comfortable before you set off on the walls.
You can hire climbing equipment, and free instruction is provided for beginners.
Disclosure of risk
Anyone who wants to rock climb at our centre must first complete this online disclosure of risk form. If the climber is under 14, their parent or guardian must complete the form on their behalf.
If you don't have access to the internet you can complete the form on a tablet at reception at the centre.
Indoor rock climbing facilities
Training wall (5m top rope)
The 5m vertical top rope is where we teach how to climb and belay (man the safety rope). This is a two-person activity.
Top rope wall (10m)
Climbers are attached to a safety line attached to the top and bottom of the wall. We have 21 lines and about 40 different climbs.
Bouldering
Climbers are able to ‘free’ climb — no harness or safety rope required — to a height of 3m.
Lead wall (12m)
Our lead wall is for advanced climbers with their own equipment. All climbers must have their skill level assessed by our staff to obtain a lead licence (free of charge) to climb on the lead wall. We have space for 10 climbers at a time, with up to 50 different routes.
Battle rope
Climbers are attached to a safety line and use both upper and lower body strength to wriggle themselves to the top of the rope.

Which class is right for me or my child?
Follow the flow chart below to find the right level for you or your child.

Holiday swim courses run over five consecutive half days (four if there is a public holiday) from Monday to Friday. Courses may be in the morning or the afternoon. We take enrolments for complete courses only.
If your child is a bit stuck on an element of their swimming, by coming every day for five days they'll normally crack it. Conquer that learning to breathe, breaststroke, or butterfly!
