Parks in New Zealand

“The Albany is the quintessential kiwi pub, but with next level food. I had the surf and turf on Turkish bread. The 200g scotch filet and real calamari, muscles and prawns melted in the mouth.”

“So many birds! We visited for a few hours after lunchtime and photographed many birds that were new to me. Favorites included the NZ plover, pied cormorant, and variable oystercatcher.”

“This playground saw a relatively recently upgrade. Large open spaces in the park area with great views of the city. Play equipment suitable for ages 2-8.”

“Really great scenic tranquil place, Lots of bird life, black swans”

“Really impressed by the recent planting stormwater management and board walk construction. The new bridge is really nicely designed. It's a shame they haven't completed an upgrade of the loop track which would create a longer walk but the track on the west side is in poor condition and not recommended. You can join it up with the middle section of the Hobson Bay walkway to create a longer walk.”

“A lovely park, with playground.”

“Nice little park, My toddler loved the giant slide, only issue is the broken glass bottles in the play ground, dangerous for the little ones.”

“Another lovely place to do a stroll on the Waitakeres. Good family fun for about 1.25hrs return. The stroll back up though is on a gradual incline. Be patient especially with the kids. They may complain lol. Bring lots of water and energy boosters.”

“Good place to walk the dog, swings for the kids and skateboarding facilities. Very nice and relaxing”

“very nice dog walk around 30 minutes”

“Dr Nefario approves of this park”

“Really nice playing field nestled out the back of Miramar.”

“Such a great place for dogs to play in a fenced area. Our pup had a blast!”

“Peaceful short walk, beautiful on a sunny day!”

“Walk past it everyday on my way to work, very well designed”

“Really good campground, friendly staff, has God toilets and showers, kitchen and laundry”

“Nice park for dogs. good evening spot for walk and open playground area . nice and open parking place .”

“There are quite a few things you can enjoy if you are a sportsperson. There's a swimming pool, soccer field and so forth. I enjoyed myself playing soccer”

“Beautiful place to come and sit and watch the springs bubble away.”

“Best park for out little ones nice and safe”

“A hidden surprise! A friend convinced me to come to see the birds and try to find a kiwi. Lovely little place, helpful staff and some cool birds. I saw a kiwi!! Well worth coming at the right time for their talk (there are 3 talks a day for the kiwi) because they throw out some snacks and the kiwi was active and easy to see. Way better than the enclosure at Auckland Zoo. Well worth stopping by if youre in the area or passing through!”

“Well kept paths and gardens and you can hire a golf cart if needed. Cute ponds dotted around and a good variety of healthy looking birds. You can buy small bags of bird feed and we saw lots of adorable chicks. The cafe is great and we enjoyed THE BEST Devonshire tea I’ve ever had in New Zealand. All staff are friendly and helpful. Would visit again.”

“Beautiful and peaceful. No walking needed, drive to waterfall.”

“Nice little spot .... On the beach ... Only a few spots.. Had a stunning view out my camper... Camped with family kids and dog enjoyed it . The playground next door kept the kids entertained... And the nice beach walk kept mom and our doggie entertained!!! Dump station just here also so we could fill with clean new water and dump the grey water.”

“It is a super fun place to have a holiday and really close to get to I highly recommend this area for a fun camping ground.”

“Nice park and beautiful old trees.. small but everything you need .. little playground and room for dogs to play.. I like the exercise equipment there that's free to use”

“Good for ages 2 - 6 after that age go to the school for kids to play”

“Complimentary papadam to start while you look at the menu. Great selection and equally great results when the food arrives. Staff are extremely polite and genuine people. Usually plenty of space as most people do takeaways, by the looks of it. Venue is moody but underlit in my opinion.”

“Nice place to shop around the decent quality kitchen stuff from South Korea. Recommended to everyone who seeks something not common in the kiwi market at reasonable price. There seems to be not much language barrier to choose the products!”
