Serene memorial with a cute little garden and big open green space. Great view of the harbour and city.

This place has a great view over the ocean, and the lawn is kept mystical clean. Flowers are grown all over the lawn and are a great place to sit down for a picnic.

It was a beautiful evening around 5pm when we visited Bastion Point aka Michael Joseph Savage Memorial Park. It's picturesque and a great backdrop for wedding, graduation or personal photos. A beautiful place to sit and enjoy the scenery and the gardens.

Would definitely go back to check out the views again.

Nicely presented park area dedicated to the politician who helped the mauri people

We put this review as Bastion point! The Michael Joseph Savage memorial is on this point an Auckland point of extreme interest xxx

Nice place with great views. A bit of history too. Good loos Popular place for a picnic and the tourist bus came up the hill

A great memorial garden to one of New Zealand most loved Prime Minister. Beautifully maintained and a must see if in Auckland.

Beautiful well maintained park overlooking mission bay. Splendid flowers and greenery looking to the most spectacular views that Auckland has to offer. Quiet and screen. Toilet block if your caught short and a lovely cafe that will be swamped come summer. A nice place for a picnic.

Good look out point, we were able to find parking easily. Gardens were beautiful (heard during Jan/Feb it's more beautiful as the flowers blossom). Unobstructed view of the sky tower in the back drop. Must do on the way to Mission Bay.

An awesome example of its era, the gardens were getting a complete overhaul for spring. I'm sure it will look great by then. Not sure it's worth a trip for it's own sake, but it's a lovely spot to kick back and relax. Political and history buffs may enjoy the monument to a great New Zealand prime minister. His name is still mentioned with some reverence and admiration after all this time.

You can enter the park up some stairs on the mission bay side. It's very pretty great views

Beautiful, This place will always hold a special place in my heart. In May 2019 it was the last place I took my beloved Dad before he passed a few short months later. Returned only recently due to Covid and a slow healing broken heart. It seems to be even more beautiful now.🥺

A beautiful park with great views. It's a stop on the hop on/hop off bus, so it's easy to get to.

One of the most beautiful places to visit in Auckland. How profound way to keep the memory on Michael Joseph Savage.

Superp scenic location in Auckland... do visit.

Great views of Rangitoto Island and the distant city of Auckland. Beautiful pohutukawa trees at Christmas time.

Beautiful well maintained place overlooking mission Bay area

A beautiful park with stunning views of the Waitemata Harbour, Hauraki Gulf and Auckland City.

Gorgeous view .romantic picnic place😚

Nice place to spend time in garden and click some great landscape photos.

Nice place to have time to reflect, and have peace and quiet. The flowers are colourful and beautiful which bring an essence of what our planet can create with a little care from humans.

Went on a cloudy day, but it's still a beautiful spot

Very beautiful park with awesome views of Auckland and port.

This is a lovely park with a stunning view that I was unable to capture with my pictures, you can see the city, the bay, its a enjoyable walk, family site, super clean and beautiful, highly recommended.

Have loved the views (from Bastion Point) for a few decades now. & I still enjoy the occasional visit... Awesome place to fly a kite as you can get really High, which makes kite flying a lot more enjoyable... Twenty past four is a great time, for this... 👈😎👍

Amazing view of city , gives one a breath of fresh air and a mood booster gorgeous views.This is no short of little vacation feeling just by going up the hill.

Nice little park with the memorial of NZ's first Labour Prime Minister which the park is named after, there is a 10 mins pathway from Mission Bay and a few more to other surrounding areas. A great place for some photo ops during spring and summer as well.

Doesn't get too busy despite looking like a popular place to hang out. Courtesy of the very large land area, so you can still feel like you've got privacy among all the other people. There's an easy access walkway to get from the top down to Mission Bay.

Best place to visit in Auckland on a sunny day... really enjoyed a lot

Beautiful grounds, gardens, views and tonnes of free parking for those with mobility restrictions. Amazing view of Rangitoto Island too. Historic place of New Zealand with political significance.

Michael Savage look out is one of the greatest places you can visit in the area for scenery fantastic views of the harbor and Auckland city. You're also very close to one of the Maori meeting locations and if you have the inclination you can certainly visit it as well.

Beautiful place but needs a little pressure washing on the walkways because it gets slippery when it's wet due to all the algae. It's a really nice place for walks and picnics or just to clear your head.

Amazing park, right on Tamaki Drive

Good Place to see a birds eye view of Auckland

Lovely location and a somewhat special place to be. So quiet ever when busy. Open grass areas to chill on. Go exploring... lots of history to see with the old bunkers. The memorial itself is beautiful with the water feature and blooming flower beds.

What a spot! So beautiful 😍 both scenery wise and plant wise. Lots of parking. Easy to access. There were a bunch of walkways but we didn't have the time to explore. We'll be back for sure.

A very beautiful memorial park in Auckland with beautiful flowers and green grass. I love this peaceful and relaxing place very much.

Located at the Bastion Point of the east Auckland near Mission Bay, Michael Joseph Savage Gardens is a pleasant and relaxing park maintained by the Auckland city council. Designed by local architects Tibor Donner and Anthony Bartlett, Fletcher Construction company finished construction of this park in March of 1942. It was built in memory of former New Zealand Prime Minister Michael Joseph Savage who headed the first Labour government in the 1935 general election. Savage was also involved with the formation of the New Zealand Labour Party in July 1916. He was the 23rd prime minister of New Zealand. The park is located on an elevated ground, therefore provides beautiful views of the Auckland city, Waitemata harbour, Rangitoto island and the Hauraki gulf. It is a popular tourist attraction for both international visitors and locals. The central park area is centred around a large sunken garden, which are adorned with hedges and variety of seasonal flowers. There is a large but shallow pool located in the centre of the garden. The main feature is the obelisk tower, base of which has an epitaph embedded to honour the late Prime Minister. It has good toilet facilities, ample parking spaces and quite a few benches to sit and relax. It is also popular among dog walkers.

Nice view but the path to Mission Bay is kind of hidden

Was not ideal weather due to being cloudy but awesome rose garden and you could tell the view is awesome on a clear day. Big space my kids ran around and enjoyed it
