Best places: Parks in Auckland, New Zealand

Established city park containing museums, memorials & the entire blast crater of Pukekawa volcano.

Historically significant, tree-filled park with flowerbeds, a Victorian fountain & statues.

Recreation area featuring 2 colorful rose gardens, plus an observation deck overlooking the water.

👍👍 A lovely park with pond, close to Motat, Auckland Zoo, and the Western Springs Stadium. Just make sure that you aren't wandering around after sunset; as there are plenty of dodgy people lurking around once it gets dark. You can find plenty of swans, ducks and pokeko. You will also find some chickens...

Park (also called Tuna Mau) with trails, sports fields, tennis courts, a playground & picnic areas.

👍 It is a wonderful park, lovely fields and Richmond Bulldogs as a club does AMAZING things for the community!! The only downside is Dog Poo, there is a lot of it, in the middle of foot traffic. And it's not nice when there are a lot of kids running amongst the field in barefoot not knowing there are...

Popular public green space featuring a walking/jogging path, skate park, playground & sports fields.

Public park incorporating parts of a former industrial site, with outdoor concerts, films & markets.

👍👍 The new elevated walkway has really improved Western Springs as a place to visit - impressive views out over the city. The park itself has always been nice for watching the birds (particularly like the spoonbills!) Ground can get really muddy so wear appropriate footwear.

👍👍 Beautiful place to dog walk and big fields away from cars/road.

Compact green space in the city centre featuring a colourful, modern playground & public artworks.

👍 Nice and quiet place to relax. Nice view of the city too.

👍 The view of the blue sea from the park is to die for. Greenery all around. A feast for you eyes and soul.

👍👍 Cool place for a time out

😠 THIS IS A PUBLIC BEACH. Auckland Council has completely dropped the ball. It is covered in private structures & warning signs & cameras from houses that have been allowed to illegally build all over public spaces & intimidate the public. It is like arpartheid South Africa. VILE!!!

👍👍 Beautiful water feature! Lovely place for a sitdown/ relax/ snack

👍👍 Daldy St Park has been beautifully designed to suit people taking their lunch or tea break outside. Good mix of shade and seating to accommodate many people without feeling overcrowded. In an area full of apartments and office buildings, it creates a lovely restful contrast.

👍👍 Great park. Parking not easy. Toilets and free tennis courts. Pretty cool slides.

👍👍 Its really quite here even in the middle of the city

👍 Quite a remarkable place in the middle of the city. Small place though but couple of places to seat. The tree is one of its kind. The shape of the tree can be mesmerising. They also have small monument.
