If
you're
looking
for
a
great
place
to
get
active
and
enjoy
some
outdoor
fun,
Ken
Maunder
Park
on
the
New
Lynn/Avondale
border
is
definitely
worth
checking
out.
With
its
expansive
sports
fields
and
well-maintained
turf,
this
park
is
a
popular
spot
for
weekend
soccer
games
in
the
winter
(even
after
a
week
of
heavy
rain!),
and
cricket
in
the
summer.
But
while
the
quality
of
the
fields
is
impressive,
the
same
can't
necessarily
be
said
for
the
park's
infrastructure.
The
park
is
a
bit
overcrowded
with
buildings
and
facilities,
which
can
detract
from
the
natural
beauty
of
the
area.
Additionally,
on
days
when
there
are
large
events
or
numerous
games
taking
place
at
the
park,
finding
a
place
to
park
your
car
can
be
a
bit
of
a
hassle.
Despite
these
minor
drawbacks,
Ken
Maunder
Park
is
still
a
fantastic
place
to
visit
if
you're
looking
for
a
fun
day
out
with
friends
or
family.
The
park
offers
a
paved
pathway
around
its
perimeter,
which
is
perfect
for
taking
a
leisurely
stroll
or
bike
ride
and
enjoying
the
stunning
views
of
the
Whau
estuary.
There
are
also
plenty
of
picnic
tables
and
seating
areas
where
you
can
relax
and
enjoy
a
meal
or
snack,
as
well
as
drinking
fountains
to
keep
you
hydrated
during
your
visit.
Overall,
Ken
Maunder
Park
is
a
great
choice
for
anyone
looking
to
enjoy
some
outdoor
activities
and
get
a
little
exercise.
While
it
may
not
be
perfect,
its
high-quality
turf,
beautiful
views,
and
ample
facilities
make
it
well
worth
a
visit.
