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.
