Ōtara Pool and Leisure Centre is here to help you get active in a fun and supportive environment — whether that’s in the gym, going for a swim, joining a group fitness class or getting amongst our social sports leagues. We're proud to have something for the whole family.
Our double court stadium hosts lots of exciting competition events, but there're still plenty of times when you can drop in and play some basketball (or volleyball or netball) — or just shoot a few hoops.
We're passionate about our community and grateful to be right in the heart of Ōtara — close to other services and with plenty of parking available.
For swimmers with accessibility needs, a water wheelchair is available. Please note that the fitness centre is not accessible by wheelchair.
We welcome your enquiry! You can use the contact us form or, even better, come and visit us and let us show you all the fun of getting active.
