Best places: Parks in Hibiscus Coast, New Zealand

Clifftop walking trails plus swimming & kite flying in a beach park with BBQ & picnic sites.

Bayside sanctuary with a boat ramp, 3 beaches & campgrounds, plus paddocks with farm animals.

👍👍 I wish there were high-quality pathways like this in the U.K. At the beginning and end, there are enjoyable scenic views taking you around an estuary on smooth concrete paths and wooden bridges. The middle section takes you onto main roads servicing residential housing estates and some on pathways o...

👍 Good spot for the kids to play and walk on the beach. Ice cream shops and hot chips are across the road. Found a few pieces of glass on the beach, be mindful with barefeet.

👍 This place is a hidden walk way. I think not much people go over there. You have to visit this place if you are in to nature walks. Such a great little quiet place to relax.

👍 Waiake bay is a lovely small beach on the north shore of Auckland. Pretty good for kids and a great walk to the small island off shore at low tide.

👍👍 The boat ramp at 164 brightside road Stanmore bay is really easy for launching your boat from the concrete ramp or from the beach, There is plenty of parking for you car and boat trailer too. The beach is also safe to swim with the family.

👍 If you enjoy being outdoors on the beach it's a good place for an early morning workout or if that's a little too much starting here and walking towards the southern end and back might be more relaxing. If you have children it's a good escape from them or it's a good escape for them

👍👍 This park is very grassy and has space for sports, fun and recreation. Theres tonnes of parking which is also good for learning to drive on, and its a good place to take the kids, have a game of touch or fly model aircraft.

👍👍 So beautiful... Due to Kauri Dieback only 2 entrances are open and you have to brush and disinfect your shoes before entering or exiting. Also, the lookout track is closed but the loop track remains open/the path from entrance to other entrance (hillcrest rd to old north rd). Stay on the path/boardw...

👍👍 Water Lily in full bloom, beautiful and peaceful surrounding.

👍👍 Pretty nice spot, wher you can chill in the grass under a tree or just stay on the front and watch fisherman do their thing and if u r lucky you might see some stingrays who roam local waters. Place is gorgeous at sunrise and sunset!

👍👍 It's really a great relaxing walk. Can recommend it 100%

👍 A peaceful park surrounded by trees, houses and retirement homes. There are 4 swings in total, a Seesaw, large slide, smaller slides and a horizontal ladder for the kids to climb. It also has two pull up bars for exercising. There is large space on the grass to have a picnic, with big trees, bird li...

👍👍 This is a feature rich park catering to a range of ages. There's toddler swings and full size swings, climbing apparatus for young kids and teenagers alike. The flying fox caters to people of all ages and the grounds are suitable for a range of sports (there are even some rugby posts available).

👍👍 Absolutely beautiful piece of native bush, preserved in the middle of a residential area. Wonderful paths, well maintained and visible. The 650 year old tree is in the far north area of the reserve.

😐 Toilets always good and grounds always kept immaculate !
