1 / 3Taylors Bay Reserve
đ Hillsborough, Auckland
A quiet harbourside reserve in Hillsborough with a small playground, expansive lawns, picnic tables, and beautiful Manukau Harbour views. Free entry, easy free parking, and pram-friendly access suit families with young children.
Intimate, cool,safe, lots of shade, love seats, a kids park with picnic tables,Kingfishers (alot) a great view of Mangere Mountain, at night the same view is of distant lights over water. Very romantic. Me my fav. is when the tide goes out there are miles of coastal walking available,wear sensible shoes and enjoy having the place to youself. Besides me and the dog, and the Kingfishers.
đ Family Action Verdict
A genuinely lovely spot for families with toddlers and preschoolers â the intimate scale, beautiful harbour views, and easy parking make it an effortless outing. Bring a picnic and settle in for a relaxed afternoon. The coastal walk at low tide adds an exploratory element for curious older children.

âGorgeous beach, playground, lawn bush on the Manakau Harbour. Pity the coastal path to the Mangere Bridge and Onehunga lagoon doesn't quite make it there. The option are mudflats in between but these are crammed with sharp oyster shells so not niceâ
