Children's space in Auckland

“Love this community space. We book it for our Toastmasters club every 2nd Thursday morning. It's been perfect for us. Highly recommend”

“Awesome place to take the kids. We attended a birthday party. They set a area up for us and catered food and water. There's a Cafe with decent food. Plenty of parking It get hot during summer, keep the kids hydrated. No complaints.”

“Great Park for all kids and for families who have children with disabilities. Accomadates all families”

“Visited the theatre for the ballet of lights. The theatre seating is really comfortable and even has a mini table that folds up which is great to hold drinks and food. Parking is easy and there are snacks at the bar.”

“Good playground with fencing around road edge to keep the young ones safe. The rocket is a big draw card, as kids like to climb. There is a sun shade over the seating area. Across the road are a couple of takeaway shops and cafes. If you walk past the community centre, behind the ymca is a flying fox and tennis courts.”

“Nice and clean facility with enough room for family functions and community events. Will definitely refer this venue!”

“Was amazing my first time there, Had a park playground for the younger ones Bombing area and slides area into the pools also a basketball shooting area Beautiful views out to the ocean and the bridge going to NorthShore With the sky tower in view”

“The sandringham community centre harbours the "The free little library" out front; a monument of long lasting shared efforts of sandringham and a representation of what all communities should have. It also serves as a pataka kai and a shelter to hang at while on your walk. Arohanui”

“This is a nice park with a great kids playground and plenty of quiet little paths. A spacious park, trees and stream, walkways, toilet, and next to soccer field connected by a beautiful bridge, easy off-street parking for visitors, all for free. Really recommend!”

“Enjoyed the music and venue. Pity they were not always in tune. But it was a step back down memory lane.”

“Fabulous location for a quiet walk or to run the dog or perhaps have a picnic, plenty of space coupled with a lil wildlife and scenic views all inside a residential neighborhood.”

“Well if you want alone time Mills bay is the place. Quite, hardly see anyone. My best spot to relax during my off days.”

“Good flat area. Smooth concrete path all around outside of park. Great for walking etc. Also a small playground for kids.”

“It's just in front of my house, good for jog , picnic, for boating also. When I tried to access the toilet in the morning its locked tho. Good playground for kids also.”

“This was a location suggestion, I took the photos ages ago with my family, I'm not too sure where it is, but I do know that it was a real cool place. I also remember a prison near the place.”

“Growing up, I always heard mixed things about walking through Myers Park — but after the recent updates, it feels completely different. It’s brighter, cleaner, and feels much safer now. Great to see the space being revitalized — it’s actually a really nice spot to stroll through again.”

“Well kept grounds and facilities. Little short on parking space. I added a photo for all you soccer parents to find out which field is where.”

“The variety of games is awesome especially for music games. I loved the place because of that. Also, they have very nice prizes for low amount of tickets.”

“Was at the pools it was amazing, went water walking”

“Great skate park, a field to walk the dog, kick a ball, or picnic. Adjacent play area for young ones and a serviced toilet.”

“Moore Park is a delightful escape, offering a refreshing blend of natural beauty and recreational opportunities. The expansive green spaces are perfect for picnics, games, or simply relaxing in the sunshine. The well-maintained pathways invite leisurely strolls, and the overall atmosphere is one of tranquility and enjoyment. One of the most charming aspects of Moore Park is its hidden gems. I was pleasantly surprised to discover swings tied to tall trees far back in the field. They weren't professionally made, but they had a certain rustic charm that instantly transported me back to childhood. It was a simple yet heartwarming sight that genuinely lifted my spirits. Moore Park is a wonderful place to spend time, whether you're seeking outdoor recreation or a touch of nostalgia. The park's combination of natural beauty and unexpected delights makes it a truly memorable destination. It's a place where you can reconnect with nature and rediscover the simple joys of life.”

“Good safe park to take my kids. Had a playground and nice toilets with a walking track around the field too.”

“My daughter is learning swimming here through swimgym in otara and she is loving it.. ❤️”

“One of our favourite places to visit each school holidays. Even more so since the upgrade last year!! Under 5 area is amazing and a massive improvement to what it previously was. Great for all ages including adults.”

“I recently took my sons to Gravity Mt Wellington after they had been in an accident. They were quite nervous and hesitant to get back on the trampolines. I was approached by Shahad, the manager, on her day off. Even though she didn’t have to, she kindly approached us and spent time with my boys. She spoke to them gently and reassured them that they were safe. Her patience and encouragement helped them slowly build up their confidence. By the end of the visit, they were smiling, laughing, and jumping again. It was such a relief to see them enjoying themselves after everything they had been through. Shahad truly went above and beyond in a way that not many people would. I’m so grateful for her kindness and the difference she made for my family that day. We will definitely be coming back!”

“We were a group of 3, we ordered bbq ribs with wedges salad, grilled fish with roast potatoes salad, lamb shanks with mash and Veges for our mains. Amazing dishes, good portions. The service was attentive. Our entree jalapeño poppers were the best we've had. This is my 2nd time at this restaurant. We all left very happy with our meals! Will definitely be back again.”

“Free local pools. The facilities are well maintained, staff are friendly and welcoming. We’re lucky to have Otahuhu Pools in the area.”

“Clean, comfortable salon. Welcomed with offer of beverage. Stylist listened carefully to what I wanted and I was delighted with result (colour & cut). Will def return next time I’m in Auckland.”

“We had an amazing time celebrating my daughter’s 10th birthday with her friends at Zone Bowling Botany. We did the Two Pin kids party package, plus an additional game of bowling at the end. The staff, especially Nakita and Aazerah, were very friendly, helpful and professional. They made the day fun, easy to manage and basically stress-free. They made sure we were taken care of even before the party started, with the bonus arcade time while we were waiting for the rest to come - that was such a lovely surprise and very thoughtful! The kids had a blast, it was super fun and a memorable day for everyone! The food was delicious too! We highly recommend Zone Bowling Botany for your party needs or if you just want to have fun! Thank you so much Zone Bowling Botany team ❤️”

“Here’s a polished, positive Google-style review based on your example: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What an amazing place! Just visited the new climbing facility in Auckland and it blew me away. The setup is modern, safe, and seriously fun. We were there trying out the new climbing venture and the kids absolutely loved it. Such a great way to get them off the devices and give them a real personal challenge — watching them overcome their fears and push themselves was awesome. Highly recommend for families, beginners, and anyone looking for a confidence-boosting adventure!”
