1 / 2Waiatarua Reserve Playground
đ Remuera, Auckland
Waiatarua Reserve in Remuera is an off-leash reserve with a playground, pond, and a 2.8 km circular walking trail. Used for walking, kite flying, and dog exercise. Free entry. Car park and toilets on site.
This is a 2.8km off leash dog walk. There is one good sized pond for dogs to swim and depending on whether it has been raining will depend on whether sister will be flowing. There are a few yucky parts where if the dogs get covered in mud, they will need a bath!! They love it though. The track also caters for a few cyclists some of whom go too fast. Don't be shy to say, 'slow down', I do. Great place.
đ Family Action Verdict
Families describe the reserve as a great open space for combining playground time with a longer circuit walk. The pond, off-leash freedom, and kite-flying potential make it a versatile outing. Reviewers note it rewards the 20-minute drive from central Auckland.

âMy new favourite dog park. 20mins to get there from our place, but great for an awesome walk. Offleash, 1/2hr walk around, we always do 2 rounds. I get my steps in, my dog loves the water there and just a great run around for him, he never wants to go home.â

âIt is a nice playground near the public toilets with a car park. There is a big circuit nearby that you can walk around. You can let youe dogs off the lead to walk around it and there is a place where dogs can go for a swim.â

âGreat park for families including Dogs. Its a off-leash park, alot of dog owners are understanding to puppies that may be still learning of recall, and there is no discrimination or judgement passed. Highly recommended.â

Overview
Waiatarua Reserve in Remuera combines a family playground, a pond, and a 2.8 km circular walking trail within a large open off-leash reserve. The pond provides a scenic point for walkers and water access for dogs. The open, often-windy character of the reserve makes it a kite-flying destination. A car park sits adjacent to the reserve with public toilets nearby. The trail winds through varied terrain with enough undulation to make the circuit engaging for all ages.
