Get active and have fun


Manukau Leisure operates seven recreation centres throughout Manukau. Located in Papatoetoe, Howick, Pakuranga, Manurewa, Mangere, Otara and Clendon each centre offers a variety of fun recreation programmes that will get you active and help improve your health and fitness.

We have something for everyone regardless of age, shape, fitness level or ethnicity. Programmes cater for babies through to the elderly. Activities include baby gymnastics, kids basketball coaching, retired recreation, social sport competitions, yoga, and much more.
