The pools you mention at the end of the track are the StJohns pools. Used for swimming for Kelburn and Karori Schools as well as the bible classes from St Johns in Willis St.. One for the boys and one for the girls. http://natlib.govt.nz/records/17475450?search%5Bpath%5D=items&search%5Btext%5D=st+johns+pool
