Park in New Zealand

“Reading some of the reviews below is so sad to see. I moved to churton park medical when doctor Rachel moved from Johnsonville 10+yrs ago. I’ve seen a few doctors there but Dr Tim is by far the most personable, honest, caring, open to ideas doctor I’ve ever had. I feel SO lucky to have snapped him up as my doctor. I’ve seen other doctors for when Tim has been busy and 9/10 they are spot on for me too. Tim takes great pride in his practice (along with his wife ) I’ve never felt judged, I’ve never felt unheard and I’ve never felt crazy. The nurses are also incredibly kind. I highly recommend churton park medical.”

“Wonderful vintage Market at this beautiful historic home. Market nicely set up inside house. A good rummage day.”

“The new park (post cyclone Gabrielle) opens April 6th 2024 and is accessed via Waipunga road, off SH5 Esk Valley. Turn into Waipunga road, cross the bridge then turn right into the first forestry road, and follow this to the carpark. No tracks remain in the Mill Block off SH2.”

“We have visited Truby Park in 2020, it was a wonderful experience. Loved the history, nature , fresh air. Beautiful flowers, good place to have a walk and chat and enjoy nature and history. This is also a good place for a picnic. Kids can play and have fun. Parking was easy to find.”

“We spent a night at the motel and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The cabin was an affordable and comfortable option. Spare blankets were available,the sheets were of a good quality and the room was warm. We slept peacefully and I love the country setting. A nice swimming pool is available which would be fun to use in the warmer months. It was a great location for us being near the Cape Palliser Lighthouse,the Pinnacles and Lake Ferry. The hosts were friendly and told us about things we could see and do. Hopefully we can return next year!”

“I came in this morning and got what I needed and i found the staff very helpful to”

“Awesome fenced Park to bring your dog!”

“Great place to go with family and a picnic. Some play equipment, toilets tables and loads of grass to play games. Even a river to dip ya feet into”

“It is a beautiful lake n easy walk way.”

“Love this park! Usually a night market on the weekends and plenty of space for kids, playgrounds, basketball courts, and even flat ground skatepark with some mini ramps. They also host events here like Matariki!”

“With its brand new beautiful playground is the best place to relax and take your kids in south Auckland”

“Nice to walk around in the sun. Good trim. Cricket looks fun, but. I’m afraid.”

“Beautiful time with whanau on a wonderful sunny day in the Hutt - track to summit was nice grade and great condition!”

“What a great park for walking your dog. Perfect for me, as it is paved, and flat. And so much space for my dog to run.”

“Great place to have birthday parties”

“Nice local space, boasting a disc golf course, small playground, skate park and a pond surrounded by lovely trees and plants. Very family friendly.”

“A great walk. We headed up via the RHS. Starts gently then for the next third goes up a bit steeper. The final third flattens off. Good views going up and from the cave itself. The walk down is pretty steady on LHS (as you look from the bottom). Less rocks etc than going up on the RHS. There is a toilet block at Football club. ( needs a clean)”

“A great place to take your dogs; so far everyone (two and four legged) has been friendly. Often if you get there early enough in the morning, there's even wild rabbits for them to chase! Heaps of space and different areas to go.”

“Nice open spaces, with nice covered ( mature trees ) spaces with a water feature too. Toilets are close and so are shops, bars, cafès,restaurants and bakeries.”

“Excellent layout of the whole Park Island district at the current time. Though could go even better. How do I know this? Easy My family used to Mix farm the area with Pigs and cows from the late 50's till 1980. I grew up in this area and know the wildlife and terrain plus the history, even bfore the 1931 earthquake.”

“Lovely place to go for an evening walk, also has a fully fenced dog park”

“Really truly awesome experience! Would definitely recommend. And I can't wait to go again. The actors are just so great at their jobs. Giving you such an amazing night. Not for the faint hearted.”

“Love this little spot for a picnic on a hot day! Kell Park has everything you need and more: plenty of shade, public toilets, ample parking and pushchair/wheelchair accessible pathways. Dogs are allowed off leash year round (although mind the free range chickens!) Albany library is just alongside so perfect to grab a book and read in the shade. There is a small playground (suitable for younger children) in the main park - or follow the pathway in either direction for a short bush walk to the big slide and flying fox (flying fox was out of order when we visited Jan 2024). For older children there isn’t a lot to do here - though the flying fox if working would be a good draw. We visit this park fairly frequently and it is never busy.”

“Lovely park. Nice shade in the summer in between the trees.”

“Love this park. My kids love it because my daughter and I get to do our little exercise rounds and also my son gets to play at the playground and his favourite the flying fox that's there too.”

“Great walk with kids and family. Can be messy and slippery during rain but overall a perfect way to spend a day. Good spot for picnic too.”

“Wonderful sports grounds and facilities at the Ricoh Centre also.”

“Great fun for all ages. My daughters loved the pony rides. They were a bit nervous, but the people working the pony rides were so nice and made my girls comfortable and have an awesome time. Lots of other beautiful and interesting animals to see and feed.”

“Had a coffee break out witnessing. Watch out for the golfers hitting golf balls lol. i noticed there was a lot of green grass and trees, pioneer stadium is close by and one good feature out side was that there was volley ball courts and tennis courts and basket ball courts all available free to use. and there are picnic tables and a barbeque there to use, so i recommend trying out this place with your family.”

“Great location to take the kids to burn of some steam.”
