Howick Leisure Centre

About the centre

Previous Next

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

Welcome back to group fitness for 2021!

Play your role to help keep everyone safe and healthy! Good hygiene is something we can all practice - here's a few friendly reminders of the basics:

Bring your towel (no towel = no workout)
Bring your mat to Yoga, Oxycore, Abs and Pilates classes
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 sprays for you to use)
Shower before you swim or jump in for an aqua class (help us keep our pools clean)
And, stay home if you are unwell - play it safe.
