A bit dated as there are only 4 lanes in the big pool and a small kids pool next to it. Gets super busy in the morning because of all the swim classes which only leaves 1 lane for the kids who can swim to play in. Would suggest to go around lunch or afternoon as this is the time it starts to die down. Outdoor pool is great fun and reminds me of the old parakai outdoor pool only this one is not heated. Suggest to have a shower at home to wash off the chlorine as the amenities are not that great. A good space to take the kids and have a couple hours of fun.

Excellent facilities- immaculately clean. Pool complex includes 25m indoor pool, toddler pool, training pool, spa and sauna with a small gym inside with a large 50m pool outdoors. Indoor and outdoor pools had lanes marked - fast, medium, slow and walkers + talkers signs indicating which lane should be used by whom. Lots of seating areas for spectators in and outside. Well staffed, even at 0530 in the morning. Vaccine passes checked on entry with masks required unless in the pool

Love it. That's my second home great facilities friendly staff I'm going to highly recommend this place

Good place to have a relax & swim, the jacuzzi & sauna excellent.

Great place to swim just wish outdoor pools stayed open longer

We do enjoy papatoetoe pools but hygiene wise i reckon they Need to put more focus on changing roos. Papatoetoe close to our house, we like spending some family time in pools

To be honest. Papatoetoe Pools is way better than Lloyd Elsmore (L.E) pools. They have better selected areas and the outside pools is better than Otara Pools. Great Vision. Not too sure if they have already, but it will be cool to have a bouncy unit on the outside pools. Probably not cause of the wind area. Any Hu. Staff are real friendly. Pap Pool, is Cool (LOL).

Im sorry but adults that sit and hog that under water fountain thing in the kids pool without kids should be told to leave. My child wants to play with it but cant cause some adult is laying on top of it.

The ladies aqua zumba was amazing. Loved the instructor! She was so accommodating and welcoming as it was my first time. She made the class so fun and exciting. Waiting for the long weekend to be over so I can attend again!!

A good swimming facility for the whaanau. Recommend. T

I really did not have a great there I got kickout for no reason.There was no BOMING pool

It's a great place I suggest everyone to visit over there in the weekends nds staff is also very cooperative. Their given first priority to safety .

Our family swim here regularly. 2 adults, 3 kids. We have a 4yr old daughter with Autism who can swim confidently on her own without assistance. Yes Karens we are close by and prepared to jump in when needed. She is also a runner. The staff are very understanding of our daughters quirks/behaviors. We've never had any issues. We've always approached them first by explaining our situation & they've allowed us to supervise her how we think is best (Amazing). We love Pap pools, the staff are kind & approachable, they have a heated outdoor pool which is awesome although its a bummer they don't allow bombing like Otara (Not a biggie). The bonus is however, the outdoor pool stays open alot longer than Otara & Mangere. Paps outdoor pool is our girls fave! If she could talk she would give this place 10 Stars ⭐

A nice place for swimming, gym, sauna and spa. Toilets and bathroom as well as changing area always cleaned. The guards are always on duty and easy to spot, and there is swimming lesson available on site by SwimGym. The only downside is that the changing area is shared so less privacy.

Well set out, plenty of staff available to answer enquiries,friendly. Sauna and spa look great and good size.Outside pool starts at3-4 ft. Parents are advised to supervise, your own kids. Outside there is shelter and seating but I would like to see umbrellas closer to pool,50 meters in length.

Love it here very relaxing and most of all very friendly staff.

Must visit this pool.... Childrens enjoyed and dont want to go back home...

Awesome staff, a nice recreation center and reasonably priced.

Great pools. Sometimes not all sections are available so good to call and see what's open - especially if you're taking baby(s)

Great Teachers. Secured and Safe Pool. Good Atmosphere. Very good Spa. Thank you so much to the Centre 💕💕💕. Must visit place.

Such a great facility and well maintained. The staff are friendly and approachable. Spa pool closed during COVID-19 restrictions.

Nice and friendly place. My kids often go there for training and fun.

Attended for infant swimming lesson but was so busy and over crowded with no structure. Also had to climb over lane dividers to get into corner of pool where infant lessons were held; definitely need to take another person with you for that!

Toilets & showers look like they are not getting regularly cleaned & mopped + dry mopped in wet areas, it was seen in both womans & mens as i had partner advise what his views when changing & using mens toliet & showers prior & after swim just like my self as they both appeared to had not been attened to within 3hours being there. Also Slippery to walk along pool side to spa & sauna entry also when walking down the steps in spa area it was very dangerous junky slimy slippery, Ok Water fountain not in use unable to be used as it had tape on it but it really does need to be fixed ASAP it allows full use when paying for Sauna or Spa. Papatoetoe pool do need to revamp adding slides similar to glenfield ppl will pay for that on entry makes it more exciting than Mangere pools & also a gym add it to the cardio room get more out of using papatoetoe if being local.

Pools closed yet it says open on the net wasted time trying to ring and turning up to a closed pool

Clean facilities, decent customer service, overall pleasant experience. 👍🏽

Love this place. Welcoming and staff are helpful. Gym has a great view of the pools.

Highly Recommended: The facilities, The Environment Setup, and the Amazing Wonderful Excellent Staff Service: Makes the PCP Serve it's purpose to all the people in our Community. Near & Far.

Very well maintained place and friendly kids trainers

My daughter's lived this place as they grew up and now my 2yo granddaughter got to enjoy it too. She has a blast,. The toddlers pool was perfect for her. Great couple of hours spent entertaining my moko 😁
