Parks in Auckland

“My child started attending Piccolo Park Daycare Center around mid-January this year. As a parent, I was initially very concerned about the transition period, but the center’s manager, Zoe, and the teachers in Wai One classroom—especially Neesha and Katrina—handled the initial visits with great patience and flexibility. As a result, my child was able to quickly adapt to the new environment and begin learning new things. I really love the environment here. The center is housed in a historic homestead, so the outdoor area features many fruit trees, a vegetable garden, an outdoor play area, and a sandpit. The indoor classrooms are spacious and bright, with lots of toys for the children to play with. The teachers at the center regularly organize different activities for the children, such as dressing up as a favorite character during Book Week, and special events for Mother’s Day. Children here get to experience a rich and diverse culture. Finally, I want to thank all the teachers for their patience and dedication. I highly recommend Piccolo Park to other parents.”

“Cornwall Park looks absolutely stunning during cherry blossom season! The trees are full of delicate pink blooms, and it’s such a peaceful, scenic place to walk around or take photos. However, it can get very crowded on weekends with lots of people doing photoshoots. I’d suggest visiting on a weekday or early morning if you want a quieter experience and better photos. Definitely worth the visit!”

“Lovely place to live. Grounds well kept.”

“The rocky area is beautiful and there are many natural birds here. Nearby is a long wide beach, strong wind. There are many parking areas around, can park camvan. From the parking lot to the view point is quite close and easy to walk.

“My family of three, which includes a 9 year old, loved this event on vacation!! Two hours was plenty to learn time be safe and try the rapids several times. Options were available for swim levels to drift downstream. Our guide, George, was amazing and persistent with the three children in our raft without being harsh. Video is purchased separately for your experiences. The changing area is large and clean.”

“My simple words will not do any justice to this place. This is beyond imagination and best place to feel the nature of its vibe along with the sound of birds. If you love walking this is the place to be with your loved one but ensure you reach before 5pm. Since the place is just near the museum there is an open ground where we can park your car van free and roam tense free.”

We highly recommend you to visit the park if you happen to go to North Shore or you are one of the Northshorers.”

“⸻ This playground features many snake-like slides, and my son had a great time weaving through the various tunnels and pipes. The seaside location offers beautiful views, and there’s plenty of sand to play in. Overall, it’s a fantastic place for kids to explore and enjoy!”
