Splash pad at Potter Park
Albert-Eden Local Board’s recently opened splashpad has given Potters Park a new lease of life. Already more people are using the playground and grass areas than for many years. “Improving our parks so more people enjoy them is one of the Board’s priorities”, says Chair Dr Peter Haynes. “This splashpad, Auckland’s first full-size one, is a huge success.”
This new leisure facility, easily accessed by public transport on Dominion Road, is part of the implementation of City Visions policies to make Auckland more child and family focussed.
Hi Jo. It’s definitely coming back! It’s shut down over the winter and will be back from 15 September. There should have been a sign up with the dates and hours (“Open: 15th September – 15th May each year. Hours of operation 9 am-9 pm, 7 days per week
Please note- these hours/days may vary”). I’ll get it chased up and find out where it is.
We are about to start planning the new playground (the old one is pretty sad), so tell us what you’d like to see it replaced with – it needs to be as exciting as the splashpad! Check out the Albert Eden Local Board facebook page in about a month or look out for the signs in the park. Margi
Where has the splash pad at Potter’s Park gone? We took our toddler there today only to see a lot of very disappointed kids. It’s disappeared. Please tell me it’s coming back!
Hi Marine,
Does the splash pad operate everyday throughout the year from 8.30am- 9am?
Thanks

Hi Marnie
The splash pad operates from 8.30am – 9pm (there should be a sign by the changing rooms)
