Parks in New Zealand

“Great space for a run around and to kick a ball. Very well maintained. Our new favourite park!”

“Hamlin Park is really a sports field and the hall is used for Sunday worship. I live only 5 mins.away and find it is a great place to take my Lassa Appso dog for a 20 minutes run. Lots of smells and almost totally fenced.Surrounded by trees and back gardens . Excellent parking. No public toilets or playground but if you want to sit on a grassy slope in a quiet place for a little while this is for you.”

“Bomb Point Dog Park is one of limited number of fully-fenced dog parks in Auckland. The size is large enough and there is plenty of space to run. It is great that there's a rubbish bin and dog poo bags provided within the park. While there's work being done on providing a source of drinkable water, at this point in time I recommend you bring water for your pup when you visit.”

“A nice little city park with quiet walking tracks, plenty of up and down hill. The view area above the water tank is a fantastic new addition and a great viewpoint.”

“Wide open green space next to the red zone with partial fencing. Tennis court, petanque boulodrome, basic playground and public toilets. Underutilised sport fields with views of the Port Hills and close to the Otakaro-Avon Corridor. A well kept secret in Avondale.”

“A great community park, tidy and clean. Lots of field space, has hot air balloon landing and pack down sometimes. The park uptop is handy, has public toilets and small building space enough for about 50 people max.”

“Lovely, kids had a ball. So much to do and lovely views too.”

“We like this playground. It provides confidence and stretches our grandchilds ability. It's handy for parking, toilets very handy. It's a sunny spot. Seating is available. Sports grounds next door. Good area for small children to play on equipment and large area for kicking a ball or running around”

“We had our original camp site which was booked a year in advance cancelled last minute for labour weekend due to council pest spraying. After years of planning our family camp, we were desperate to seek urgent accommodation for our large family (100+). I phoned the Clark’s beach holiday park the week of labour weekend and the owners were Amazing! They heard our cries, they catered to our last minute request and had done their best to cater to all our needs and they delivered - truely angels! Thank you so much for your kind hospitality ❤️”

“I haven't been there in so long, since 1990ish but my childhood memories of your park were so awesome, we were safe to run round free and unsupervised in our ever expanding packs, (tho it was harder to injure 80's children) so many families in the summer and everyone, staff and patrons were all lovely and courteous. There was tree swings, n family movies at night played on giant projector screens that all the kids watched from duvet+ pillow forts on a grass bank before bed. The prickles were my least favorite thing, but we stayed in our giant tyre tube's in the creek most of the day. I love so much the refusal to engage nasty insult comments. Those 30 yr old memories are still probably my best n happiest of camping as a kid. I hope the legacy review isn't out of place.”

“The ground is in the best state ever for Rugby.”

“Wonderful staff in the office! A small and peaceful campsite, near the beach. Probably the best water pressure I've ever seen for a campsite shower too”

Bryant Park Takeaways favours a classic fish‑and‑chips mix with clear, clean flavours. Ribs and steaks arrive seasoned and tender. Fillets arrive fresh and the fry keeps clean. A sensible spend for the spread.

“Great Camp - Very Friendly. The Stream is Iconic New Zealand. Love it……”

“Stayed one night. Clean tidy room. Only issue is the walls/doors arent very sound proof. Could hear the neighbour's talking outside in their car which was parked right outside my door. They weren't talking very loud but could still hear them.”

“Happy with service and WOF, transparency of the workshop, efficiency and how as a customer I was treated. Would absolutely return and recommend. We came here due to a very negative experience with a dodgy workshop at the new car dealer we purchased our car from, and I learned the hard way those guys are untrustworthy and should never service a car outside of the initial service agreement.”

“Beautiful park with lovely kept mature trees. Lovely to spend hot summers day underneath shade of different trees. Beautifully manicured lawn and water feature. Council does a good job keeping maintained. A lovely green park in Matamata - perfect for picnic.”

“Great park for a family picnic. So close to children's playground, toilets and swimming pool”

“Two Rainbow slides, two picnic tables and one two seats swing. Lots of fun”

“Freedom camp here for 2 smaller campers, Stayed two nights. Far enough away from the road and close enough to CBD etc.”

“Great school, highly recommend it. It truly does live by the morals of respectful, motivated and inclusive!”

“Great place good to see sport back on the rise after trying times”

“Love the food trucks very nice variety and friendly people”

“Ki o Rahi tournament. Wainuiomata is just the best place in New Zealand!!”

“Great park for dog walking. More bins have been added, but still an awful lot of dog poo not picked up. The man that used to take care of the stream beams has passed away, hopefully the council will take care of this now.”

“What a lovely stay! Compared to the stay we had last year the place is getting better and better. The decor is dated but clean and tidy. Fun playground for the kids and swimming pool with shade! Management were more than accomodating for our large family. We will be back next year.”

“It's an amazing place to rest, reflect and relax”
