About Franklin Pool and Leisure
Franklin Pool and Leisure Centre is Pukekohe’s main public aquatic and sports complex, managed on behalf of Auckland Council. It’s a modern community centre run by CLM (Auckland’s council leisure operator) featuring a 25-metre heated lap pool, a warmer leisure pool for splash play, a dedicated learn-to-swim pool and a sauna . In addition to aquatic facilities, the centre has a fully equipped gym (with cardio machines, weight equipment and functional training areas ), group exercise studios, and a large indoor stadium (used for basketball, badminton/volleyball, gymnastics, pickleball and more) . The stadium space can hold up to about 600 people at once . Changing rooms, showers and sauna are also on-site. In summer months the complex extends its footprint to an adjacent outdoor pool area (Jubilee Pool in Pukekohe and Whiteside Pool in Waiuku) for outdoor swimming and family fun . Built on Franklin Road in the heart of Pukekohe, Franklin Pool carries on a long local tradition of public swimming – the Jubilee Pools were originally opened here in 1964 through community fundraising – now expanded into this full-featured leisure centre. It’s the go-to place for local swim lessons, fitness training and sports, making it a notable hub in the Auckland (Franklin) South community.
Events and Programming
Franklin Pool and Leisure is more than a swim centre – it hosts a range of community sports and health activities. The indoor sports stadium serves as the home court for the Franklin Bulls basketball team (New Zealand NBL), which holds home games here. For example, Franklin Bulls games against teams like the Taranaki Airs were scheduled at this venue in 2024 and 2025 . The centre is also used for local school sporting events, holiday sports camps and occasional wellness events. There’s a strong fitness class program, with 30+ group classes weekly (including Zumba, spin, yoga, circuits, aqua-fitness and more) in the gym and pool areas . Notably, a new dedicated “Powerhouse” functional training space now offers HIIT and strength classes (dubbed G.A.S. and Surge) several times a week from mid-2024 .
Swimming and Aquatics: Open public swim lanes daily, plus learn-to-swim sessions and special activities for families at school holidays (holiday programmes are run through the centre’s “Chill Out” kids programme) .Children’s Programs: The centre runs OSCAR-approved before/after-school care and holiday childcare (Chill Out programme), as well as birthday party packages in dedicated party rooms (rooms and BBQ courtyard can be hired by the hour) . Pool entry is usually purchased separately.Fitness Classes: Daily group fitness classes in cycle and studio rooms; new functional fitness classes (HIIT/strength) were added in 2025 . Swimming instructors (SwimMagic based at a nearby pool) provide formal swim lessons offsite, though families often use the learn-to-swim pool here for private practice.Special Events: The centre occasionally hosts charity swims (“The Big Swim” fundraiser), local competitions (swim meets, interschools) and community days. The centre staff also run seasonal events like Christmas swim parties or Easter pool hunts.
In short, you’ll find Franklin Pool busy with morning lap swimmers, AquaFit classes mid-day, after-school kids on swim trips, sports teams on the courts, and weekend families enjoying the pools. There’s rarely a dull moment – check their website or calendar for the latest holiday programmes and sports fixtures .
Tickets and Booking
Rather than “tickets,” Franklin Pool operates on a pay-per-entry or membership model. Adult public swim costs about $8.20 per visit , while concession (student 17+, Senior 65+, etc.) is around $4.90 . Impressively, all children 16 years and under swim free with an accompanying adult . An additional supervising adult for kids (age 4 and under) pays $2.00 , and casual spectators (non-swimming adults) can enter for $2.00 as well . Ten-visit pass cards are also sold (e.g. 10 adult swims for $73.80) , which can be a cost-saver for regulars.
Memberships and passes are handled through the CLM leisure network. You can pay at the venue reception or sign up online via the CLM/PerfectGym portal. Weekly direct-debit memberships start at about $15–$17.20 per week (plus a joining fee); the basic “Gym and Swim” plan (~$15/week) covers only Franklin Pool usage, while the “Bronze” plan (~$17.20/week) grants access to other Auckland pools as well . Concession discounts (15% off) apply for eligible customers (Senior, Student 14+, Community Services Card, etc.) on memberships and passes .
No tickets are pre-sold for individual swim entry or classes – it’s generally first-come, first-served. Popular fitness classes and holiday programmes should be booked in advance via the centre website or by phone. The front desk can help you purchase day passes, concession cards and arrange room hires (e.g. birthday party rooms or court hire) . If you plan to join for the long term, early sign-up (and early arrival on peak days) is a good strategy to secure a spot.
Seating and Layout
The centre’s layout has separate zones. The pool building contains:
A 25m lap pool (normally 4–6 marked lanes) flanked by benches for swimmers and coaches. This pool has depths from shallow to deep without a diving board . Bleacher seating is not typically set up for swim sessions, since swimmers usually stand on poolside benches.
A leisure pool adjacent to the lap pool, with warmer water (around 31–32°C) . This is shallow and great for children or gentle play. Any small slides or fountains here (if present) are child-height and safe. Around it are casual seating/standing areas.
A separate learner/toddler pool (about 0.5–1.0m deep) for beginners . This has family-friendly features (warm water ~32°C) and shallow edges for kids. Parents usually stand right at the edge or on walkway benches to watch.
A sauna suite at one end.
Between the pool and the main courts, there are changing rooms, showers and toilets with lockers (coin-lock lockers are available for valuables). The main indoor Stadium is effectively a full-size basketball court hall. It has floor markings and hoops for multiple sports. There are spectator bleachers or bench seating on the long sides of the court (capacity ~600 people total ). For big games, fans tend to sit on these benches or stand around the edges. There is no fixed VIP area; seating is general admission. For vantage points at a basketball game, the middle of either sideline is ideal; avoid corner or behind a basket if you want a straight-on view. The ceiling is high and the walls are flat – acoustically loud during games, but sightlines are completely open.
Nearby, the Group Fitness studio and ChillOut multipurpose room (with a small raised stage) are used for classes or events. The Group Fitness room seats about 70–100 people (with room for mats or equipment) , and it has a built-in stereo sound system. Sometimes these rooms are combined into one large hall (floating partitions) for parties or workshops with a capacity around 100 . Overall, this layout makes Franklin Pool a versatile venue: swimmers flow around the three pools, gym-goers and class members have their dedicated areas, and sports spectators have open seating around the main court.
Getting There and Parking
The centre’s address is 29 Franklin Road, Pukekohe 2120 . It sits near the corner of Franklin and Edinburgh, a few blocks north of Pukekohe town centre. By car, Franklin Road connects to State Highway 3/20 interchange; you’ll find ample free parking in a lot beside the centre. Street parking is also available on nearby side streets if needed. Drop-off is easy at the main entrance. From the local perspective, most people drive here (taxis and rideshares are also common).
Public transport: Pukekohe is the terminus of Auckland’s Southern Line. The Pukekohe train station (about 1.4 km from the pool, a 10–15 minute walk) is the nearest rail access . From the station, the easiest public option is the local AT bus network. Several routes (Metro 392, 393, 394, 396 etc.) serve stops on Franklin Road or Edinburgh Street within a few minutes’ walk of the centre . In practice, visitors might take the train to Pukekohe, then walk or catch a short bus ride (ring routes #396 Pukekohe Interchange–Waiuku and #392 local loop stop nearby). The nearest bus stops are Edinburgh St (9 min walk) and Roulston St/Paerata Road (11 min) . Overall, most drivers find it simpler to self-drive, but those relying on public transit can do so with a moderate walk or bus transfer.
Inside the Venue
On arrival, enter through the main foyer where staff will greet you. You’ll need to pay or swipe your membership card at the reception desk to enter. Inside you’ll find:
Check-in and Hall: A front desk/reception area handles admissions, passes and equipment hire. CCTV cameras cover public spaces. The main corridors are wide and step-free.Gym and Studios: Adjacent to reception is the fitness gym and studios. All equipment is commercial-grade and the space is well-lit. Staff periodically circulate near the desk. Classes like spin, yoga or circuits begin/set up here on schedule (check noticeboards or ask staff for the timetable).Changing / Toilets: Male, female and unisex changerooms with showers and toilet stalls. Family rooms are available for parents with infants (including a bed in at least one family room). There are wall-mounted hair dryers. Bring a $1 coin or padlock for the coin lockers (keys issued at reception). The centre is generally clean but occasional visitor reviews have noted busy times can leave the change-rooms less tidy – it’s best to tidy up after yourself and report any problems to staff.Swimming Pool Hall: Separate from the gyms, the pool hall can be accessed directly. Lifeguards are on duty whenever pools are open to the public. Follow signage for showers – a quick rinse is mandatory before entering the pools. Lifejackets, flotation noodles or kickboards are often available to borrow. There is a swimshop counter with basic items (swim nappies, goggles, caps) at reception. Note that drinking fountains and bins are placed poolside, but food and glassware are not allowed in the pool area.Sauna/Spa: A dry sauna (for ages 16+) sits off the pool deck. It is available to all swimmers (no extra charge). Entrance to the sauna is normally co-ed with separate doorways (dress modestly or use a towel). People often take a dip in the pool between sauna sessions.Refreshments: There is no full café, but vending machines (soft drinks, sports drinks, snacks) are located near reception or common areas. The machine stock can be limited; many people bring their own water bottles. Outside food is not sold on-site, and there is a strict no-alcohol policy. The centre does allow water bottles – use spill-proof containers and look out for others around you.First Aid and Safety: Staff have first aid kits and a clinic room. Lifeguards are trained in CPR. Wheel-free corridors accommodate wheelchairs and strollers. If you need ramp access or pool lifts, staff can assist (most pools will have a hoist or lifting platform for disabled access). Lost property (towels, goggles etc) is logged at the desk.Wi-Fi / Connectivity: Public Wi-Fi is not advertised. Mobile phone reception is generally good inside. Most visitors just use their own data.
The overall atmosphere is casual and family-friendly. Parents with children, teens in sports gear, seniors in swim caps and fitness buffs all mingle. Staff and trainers are known to be friendly and helpful . If you have any special needs (medical condition, disability, young children, etc.), let reception know – they’ll give any instructions or equipment (like shallow water alarms or pool noodles) as needed. An electronic display often shows which swimming lanes are busy, so you can plan whether to swim length laps or use the leisure pool for relaxing. During popular times you might hear music or announcements (especially during swim team practice). Remember to keep noise respectful, and always obey lifeguard instructions for safety (no running, diving only where marked, shower first, etc. – see pool rules ).
Nearby Amenities
Pukekohe town centre is a short distance away, offering the essentials. About 800m south of the pool, King Street and Hall Street host cafes, takeaways and restaurants. For example, you’ll find a classic local pub (Franklins Bar & Eatery), an Indian restaurant, a sushi shop and several cafés within a 10-min walk. There is a dairy (corner convenience store) a block away for snacks or drinks. Larger shops (grocery store, fast food outlets, bakery, pharmacy) cluster near the central station area. In general, offer before/after-swim meals include:
Cafés and Sandwich Shops: Quick bites like toasties, donuts or coffee are available at local cafés (e.g. The White House or others on Edinburgh St).Restaurants: There are family restaurants and takeaway shops in town – pizza places, fish & chips, and Chinese/Asian takeaways. These are about a 10–15 minute walk (or a few minutes’ drive) from Franklin Road.Bars/Pubs: Pubs like Franklins offer meals and drinks if you’re meeting friends. These are not inside the complex but down the road near Station Road.Convenience and Shops: A Four Square grocery is within walking distance on Station Rd. A New World supermarket (and others) are slightly farther but accessible by car. If you need sports gear, Pukekohe has a main shopping mall with some retailers.Nearby Accommodation: Pukekohe itself has few hotels. If you’re visiting from afar, options would include motels or lodges a bit further out (for example, one can stay near Pokeno or in Auckland city). However, Franklin Pool mainly serves local residents so overnight lodging is uncommon.Post-show Options: Late swimming sessions end by 8–9pm on weekdays and 5pm on weekends. Public transport (last buses and trains to Auckland or Hamilton) usually wrap up by 11pm. After a late swim, catch a rideshare or bus back south (buses run hourly-ish from Pukekohe interchange back towards Franklin or Hamilton at night).
What Makes This Venue Special
Franklin Pool and Leisure stands out for its all-in-one community vibe. Unlike a standalone pool or gym, it combines both worlds: you might come here to swim laps, and end up joining a ball game or yoga class too. It’s truly a multi-sport hub. Some highlights that locals love:
Community Focus: This centre is known as the “heart of Franklin” . Generations of families have learned to swim here or used these nets. The facility’s late afternoon and weekend swim lessons, school groups and club trainings make it a lively place. The indoor pool area doubles as a warm gathering spot over winter in rural Franklin.Stage for Local Sports: Hosting the Franklin Bulls NBL team has given Pukekohe a rare big-sport venue – a professional basketball game in a country town is a big event. (The Bulls’ nickname “The Stockyard” reflects the rural roots, but the games take place on this indoor court.) While unusual, the setup has drawn fans from across Auckland and Waikato.Design and Facilities: The architecture is plain but practical – wide open spaces, lots of windows and high ceilings (especially in the stadium) make everything bright. The pool hall glass and skylights bring in daylight. Its signature design feature is probably the contiguous pool zone (lap/leisure/toddler pools under one roof) which is quite handy for families since parents can supervise kids across different pools from one vantage.Heritage and Pride: There’s a sense of history here. Swim lanes today are the legacy of that 1964 community project . Locals often mention the “good old days” of swim carnivals and fundraising. This Centre replaces and expands on that legacy – so it’s cherished as a local institution.Inclusive Environment: The pool policies emphasize inclusion. Swimwear guidelines explicitly allow “modesty wear” , and children up to teenage are welcome free. Programs like Chill Out (holiday care) and youth memberships (for age 12–17) keep young people engaged. Also, because it’s council-run, it caters to all income levels (pay-per-entry means families can still swim without a pricey membership).Versatility: Few places in South Auckland offer an indoor bowels of swimming plus sports under one roof. At Franklin Pool you could attend a Pilates class, jump in the pool with your kids, then watch a junior basketball game all in one visit.Why Locals Love It: Reviews and testimonials say staff are very friendly and supportive . Swimmers appreciate the clean water and year-round access (heated pools are a highlight). Families often celebrate birthdays here (the party rooms and pool create fun events). Even though it’s known colloquially as a “leisure centre,” for many it feels like a community club – people see familiar faces in the pool and on the courts. This friendliness and spirit are what truly make the centre special.

The front desk accepts credit/debit cards and Eftpos, and you can pay at entry by card or buy multi-visit passes online. If you buy a multi-visit card in person, it’s saved under your name.Peak Times: The pool can get busy weekday afternoons (3–6pm) when school lets out, and weekend mid-mornings. If you prefer quiet lanes, try early mornings or late evenings on weekdays. Likewise, the stadium is busiest when school teams or leagues play (often Friday nights or weekends). Arrive early for a good spot, as seating is first-come.Lanes and Classes: Open swim lanes are shared; there’s usually a mix of fast/slow lane etiquette. If a lane is crowded, feel free to merge. Fitness classes (aqua-aerobics, etc.) are typically marked in advance – watch the timetable or pool timetable screens to know if lanes will be closed for them.Gym Access: Under-16s may need an adult present in the gym area (check with staff). Youth (12–17) can often join on a supervised youth membership . Proper gym attire (trainers, sportswear) is required.Accessibility: The centre is wheelchair-friendly.

Use of cameras or video devices around the pools is discouraged for privacy reasons (aside from obvious safety phone use). Dogs or pets (even on leash) are not allowed on the premises (service animals only).Weather Note: Even though the pools are indoors and heated, changing rooms can feel cool, so bring a warm top.

Ticks or leeches can be a concern in rural parks around Franklin – check kids for bugs after visiting outdoor areas.COVID-19 Era: The centre follows current health guidelines (ventilation, enhanced cleaning). If you have cold symptoms, the safer thing is to postpone the visit to avoid spreading illness.Plan Ahead: Always arrive 10–15 minutes before a class or session, to check in and get ready. For special events (like the Bulls games), see if seats/registration is needed (some games are free community events). Finally, enjoy the new experience: this isn’t just any pool – it’s the Franklin community alive with activity!

Several Auckland Transport buses serve the area (for example routes 392, 393, 394, 396). The nearest bus stops are on Edinburgh Street and Franklin Road, each a 5–10 minute walk from the entrance . If taking the train, you can walk or catch a short bus to the pool.

Is there a cafe or are snacks available on-site?
There is no full restaurant or cafe inside the leisure centre. However, there are vending machines for drinks and snacks near reception and in the gym lobby. Most people bring their own water bottle or grab food before/after they come.

Can I hire the stadium or pool for events or parties?

There are also party rooms and a courtyard BBQ area that can be booked for birthday parties or meetings .

Contact the centre directly to arrange any private hire – charges apply by the hour depending on space used.
Are there age restrictions for teens or children in the gym and pool?
Children of any age can use the pools, but swimmers age 10 and under must be supervised by a 17+ adult at all times . Youth (12–17) can join the gym with parental consent or a youth membership (the centre offers a special youth gym membership) . Typically, children under about 12–13 are not allowed in the fitness gym without an adult or specific child program. It’s best to ask reception if you plan to bring younger teens to the gym. Most swim classes are grouped by age/ability, but gaps in schedule can sometimes occur, so confirm times if you want private lessons (these are handled by the Swim Magic school offsite).
Can I bring a camera or phone to take photos?
General photography is discouraged for privacy and safety reasons. If you need to use your phone (for example, to time your swim or for emergency calls), that’s fine. However, refrain from taking pictures or videos of other patrons, especially children, without explicit permission. For official events (like a team or school swim), there are usually designated photographers and announcements. Staff may ask you to refrain from filming if it becomes a nuisance.
Are locker rooms available and do I need to pay extra for them?
Yes, locker (change room) facilities are available at no additional cost. There are coin-operated lockers for small belongings; usually a $1 (or $2) coin is required to lock and is refunded when you retrieve your key at the end. Items larger than a locker can be left with staff in the lost-and-found or daycare room (e.g. strollers or big bags). Always take small valuables with you or stash them securely.
What should I bring with me to swim or workout?
At minimum: your swimwear (swimmers or rashshirt; remember swim nappies for infants), towel, and flip-flops or sandals. In the gym, wear proper athletic shoes and workout clothes. Bring a water bottle, as hydrating is important. You may want goggles if you plan on lap swimming. An additional towel or robe is handy if you’ll use the sauna. Having some coins for lockers, a padlock or shower shoes can be useful. Many people also bring a lock for the locker and maybe a small gym bag. The centre provides showers and soap dispensers, but you’ll need your own shampoo/conditioner if swimming often.
Are swim nappies mandatory for babies and toddlers?
Yes. All children not yet toilet-trained (usually under 3 or so) must wear a swim nappy in any pool . This is a strict health requirement. Without a proper reusable or disposable swim nappy, you will be asked to put it on or not swim. The center usually has a small selection of these for sale, but it’s safest to bring your own that you trust.
Can I swim laps at any time or are there reserved lanes?
Lap lanes are generally open during public swimming hours, but at busy times they may be shared or reallocated (for example, to AquaFit classes or group training). The centre provides a real-time lane availability board on their website or inside the foyer . If lanes are crowded, be prepared to circle-skip or share. Some mornings and evenings there are more swimmers (a lane-timing board will indicate if 6 lanes are in use vs fewer). If you have a specific need (e.g. very fast swim), speak to a lifeguard or coach – they can sometimes open an extra lane if staffing permits.
How deep are the pools, and can I dive in?
The 25m lap pool has a deep end (around 1.8–2.0m) and a shallow end (around 0.9–1.0m). There are no fixed diving boards or platforms at this pool – only simple edge dives are allowed, and only where clearly marked. The leisure pool is shallow (under 1.2m overall) and not meant for diving. Always check the water depth markers before any dive or jump. Lifeguards will enforce a no-diving rule in the shallow areas for safety.
Do I need to shower before entering the pool?
Yes. It’s required to shower with soap before entering any pool or spa . This helps keep the water clean. You’ll find shower stations right beyond the changing rooms. It may feel cold stepping in, but most people appreciate the courtesy. Also, tie back long hair or use a swim cap to keep the pool filters happy.
