1 / 2Heron Park
đ Waterview, Auckland
Heron Park in Waterview has a children's playground and a nature walk through woodland to mangroves and ocean views. Pukeko and ducks are regularly spotted. Free entry, free parking, pram-accessible throughout.
A nature reserve that also has a playground and dog park. Make sure you walk all the way down! You will go past the woods and see the ocean, mangroves and a wooden path. Enjoy the creek, fern and birds. A highlight of Avondale.
đ Family Action Verdict
Reviewers highlight the surprise of the full walk â starting from the playground and continuing all the way to the mangroves and ocean view. Pukeko sightings along the path are noted as a highlight for children. The park is described as quiet and safe.

âHeron park, has been one of my Favoured parks for my pooch for years. my only gripe is that Kaianga Ora is putting in a massive development right at the entrance. Great to meet other dogs. Good for dog training and also has a high tech playground installed for kids. My morning walk normally involves laps around the park and my pooch is always super excited to be here Sterling Arnet Kakapo Business Salesâ
