The Karanga Plaza Tidal Steps have been transformed into a multi-purpose free swimming area enclosed by floating pontoons. The area features a 33m-long harbour pool with four roped swimming lanes and a casual swim space, which is flanked by a jumping platform. New changing sheds and showers are located by the existing public toilets.
This new addition to the city’s waterfront offers Aucklanders and visitors a unique opportunity to enjoy safe swimming in the heart of the city. Water quality is closely monitored and tested with live updates posted on SafeSwim.
