1 / 2Central Park
đ Mount Cook, Wellington
Native bush reserve in Brooklyn with three flying foxes for racing, layered walking tracks through thick native forest, and a playground. Resident fantails follow walkers along the paths. Clean toilets and drinking fountains on-site.
I have lived in Brooklyn Wellington over 40 years. Central Park has always been a beautiful , serene haven. I has a wonderful play area, clean toilet facilities, and many wonderful walks through bush.
đ Family Action Verdict
Locals describe this as a serene haven that has held its character for decades â the three flying foxes get a dedicated mention from every visitor, and the bush walks reward the effort with native bird encounters that children find genuinely exciting.

âThis adorable little fantail just followed me until I got in my car! It didn't leave me alone for like an hour and a half! The playground, I mean, I'm 15 but I still love swings? đ¤Ŗâ

âComing here during autumn time, looking for yellowish-brownish leaves in the middle of the forest near the streams. Best in April. The play area is really a hidden gem. Unfortunately, there was a broken bridge and the track was impassable, many broken trees, landslides without warning signs. The tracks were easy and calming with the sound of birds. Too sad the tracks seem not very well maintained.â

Overview
Central Park sits in a sheltered valley in Brooklyn, offering a combination of playground equipment, three flying foxes, and walking tracks through dense native bush. The tracks vary in incline and length, suitable for different fitness levels. Fantails are a regular sighting along the paths. The park has clean toilet facilities, drinking fountains, and free parking. Best viewed in April when the canopy changes colour.
