1 / 3Panmure Basin
📍 Mount Wellington, Auckland
Panmure Basin offers a flat walking and cycling loop around the water, anchored by the striking new Te Kōpua o Hiku bridge. Multiple playgrounds and a skate park line the route, and paths are pram-friendly throughout.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
A reliable easy walk where little legs can stop at multiple playgrounds along the way. The new bridge is genuinely eye-catching - worth the visit on its own.

“You can power walk the whole reserve or take your time and enjoy the scenery. Lots of benches to take a rest and some parts have a hand rail if you need that extra help walking up hill. Playground for kids, a dock if u want to get closer to the water. At your cost theres a train ride and miniature boats. Good for all ages.”
