The
Orangihina
Harbourview
Park
is
a
lovely
park
for
a
stroll,
exercise,
and
relaxation.
It
is
quite
big
and
has
various
walkways
through
open
fields,
planted
areas,
and
all
the
way
down
to
the
Whau
River.
There
are
two
different
carparks,
with
different
walkways
and
attractions.
The
weather
was
typical
Auckland.
It
went
from
clear
blue
skies,
to
overcast,
to
pouring
rain,
and
back
to
sunshine
again!
If
you
feel
up
to
it,
you
can
walk
1.5km
(one
way)
to
the
Enchanted
Forest.
For
me,
that
was
a
massive
bust.
It
was
far
to
walk,
with
very
few
benches,
for
very
little
reward.
It
was
so
wet,
and
muddy,
and
slippery,
with
no
clear
path,
so
I
couldn't
risk
going
in
more
than
about
5
meters,
which
was
annoying.
Younger
and
more
agile
people
might
want
to
go
and
check
it
out.
It's
definitely
not
pushchair
friendly.
When
you
enter
from
the
roundabout
on
Te
Atatu
Road
there
is
an
unpaved
carpark
on
the
right
(before
the
big
carpark
on
the
left).
There
is
a
paved
walkway
to
the
right.
Follow
this
path
for
about
1.2km,
with
the
horse
paddocks
on
the
right.
The
paved
road
will
end,
and
become
a
grassy
walkway
(which
at
this
time
is
a
muddy
mushy
mess).
After
some
300m
there
is
a
huge
electrical
tower.
The
narrow
entrance
to
the
enchanted
forest
is
on
the
left.
From
the
bit
I
saw,
(and
the
photos
I
saw
from
my
friend,
which
prompted
me
to
go),
it
could
be
very
nice.
It
just
wasn't
for
me.
The
rest
of
the
walk/park
was
enjoyable
though
