Water park in Auckland

“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.”

“Had our first birthday party there, and kids had an absolute blast! Lovely attentive staff, who had a lot of patience answering my endless questions. Lovely area for parents to wait while the kids are running around occupied for hours. Literally had to drag them away after 4 hours. Will definitely be back! Thank you, LiveWire Highbury Team!”

“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!”

“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.”
