One of the best parks I have ever taken the kids to. So many things for them to do and plenty of space. Lots of parking. This park has everything, after going to so many different playground across Auckland with the kids this one is the best by far.

This is a great park and one which we visit regularly. Our son is autistic and loves the park. We come all the way from West Auckland at least twice a month to enjoy this awesome park and playground.
