Parks in Auckland

“Awesome place to take the kids! The playground has way more features than your average playground. It has some cool gym machines alongside the playground which are good for teenagers and under. Also has a flying fox which is safe for young kids to use - even by themselves. It would seem that the local community looks after the playground as it's always kept clean. There is little-to-none vandalism and it is free for anyone inside the community to use.”

“Excellent with Hillsborough Primary School”

“One of the best spots to take photos of the city. Came at night to enjoy the views prob my favourite view of the whole city.”

“The cricket ground is in great shape and is perfect for playing. It has two well-kept pitches that are in excellent condition, providing a smooth surface for both batting and bowling. The field is flat and the grass is evenly cut, which makes the game more enjoyable without any unexpected bounces or surprises. There’s also plenty of parking on both sides of the ground, making it easy for players and spectators to park their cars. The surrounding area is green and open, adding to the nice atmosphere of the place. Overall, it’s a great spot for cricket matches, practice sessions, or even just a casual game with friends.”

“Quite a big park/playground area with some shaded walkways. It connects to opuneke stream walk if you want to do a longer stretch- not much shade in summer on the long stretch but should be good when it’s evening or a bit cloudy.

For a quieter experience, it's best to visit outside of public holidays and weekends. It's a well-maintained park, and a great spot to enjoy the outdoors. I highly recommend it if you're in the area!”

Apart from that it's great.”
