We're conveniently located towards the border of Highland Park and Howick, and we have one of the largest ranges of recreation programmes you'll find in Auckland. Whether you want to play sport, work out, do a group fitness class or take part in a casual game of basketball, it's likely Howick Leisure Centre is the place to do it.
A feature of our centre is its dedicated martial arts room — so good that seven different community martial arts groups use it.
We're also known for our amazing school holiday programmes.
Want to play sport casually? We welcome you to basketball, volleyball, badminton and table tennis for all ages.
The Howick Leisure team are passionate about helping its community and members get active their way. We welcome your enquiries! You can use the contact us form or, even better, pop in and let us show you our vibrant centre.

Group fitness classes get you off the couch and interacting with our community. They also harness the group's energy to create a motivating, challenging, and totally addictive workout experience.
They're a great way to change things up and make the most of your workout!
Play your role
Keep everyone safe and healthy with good hygiene practice - here are a few friendly reminders of the basics:
- Bring your water bottle and towel - No towel = No workout!
- Bring your mat to any floor-based classes (e.g. yoga, Oxycore, Abs, etc.)
- Cover your coughs and sneezes (into your elbow or with tissues and dispose of these into the bin immediately)
- Wash your hands frequently
- Wipe equipment you have used - while our staff clean regularly, we need your help too (we have wipes and spray for you to use)
- Shower before you swim or jump into an aqua class (helps us keep our pools clean)
- And, stay home if you are unwell - play it safe!
