1 / 2Craigavon Park
đ Blockhouse Bay, Auckland
Craigavon Park combines bush walking tracks through native forest, a riverside section, open lawns, a children's playground and a dedicated off-leash dog area. Exercise stations dot the trails. Parking and toilets on site.
đ Family Action Verdict
The bush trails feel genuinely wild for a suburban reserve - native forest, stream sections and open space across one connected circuit. The playground and open grass cater to younger children. Dog owners and families share the space well across most of the reserve, with the playground zone clearly separated from the off-leash area.

âFave dog walking park. Lots of varied off leash through woods, rivers and open space. You can park up right next to it too, opp end from playground (that area isn't off leash).â

âGreat place for puppers. Lots of space for off leash running, a littlw creak and some muddy watters that can paddle a bit. Can get a bit muddy if rained.â

âGreat playground for kids. It is also surrounded by loads of open space for them to explore! Often used by a lot of dog walkers too.â

Overview
Set in a green valley in Blockhouse Bay, Craigavon Park runs bush walking tracks through native forest and alongside a stream, with open lawns and a dedicated playground at one end of the reserve. The off-leash section through the bush is one of West Auckland's most varied dog-walking routes - woods, river access and open space across the same circuit. Exercise stations are dotted along the trails. Parking sits directly adjacent to the reserve with toilets on site.
