Western Park

“This is my children's favorite playground. We love this place.”

“Western Park is a large park in the middle of busy Ponsonby area. Being on a downhill slope, It is accessible via Ponsonby road on one end and streets linking to Hepburn Street on one side. There are a lot of walks with some uphill climb given the nature of the terrain. The bottom part of the park features a large kids playground which is very popular with families and kids. Some interesting art installations are maintained on the top end on Ponsonby Road, on this park which makes this a very unique spot for art lovers. We had a great time in the playground area and kids enjoyed it a lot. Highly recommended for half a day's outing.”

“Really beautiful park in the middle of the city. The trees are huge and well established. The park is a gully so lots of great incline paths to get more than just basic, flat steps in. Highly recommend the stairs entrance off Hopetoun Street, it's a beautiful pathway all the way down to the bottom of the gully. The playground here also looks great with some epic slides.”

“Sooo cool! I searched google for ruins in Auckland and this came up. Since I was in the city, I decided to check it out. Situated on the edge of Western Park (Ponsonby Rd side), these sculptures are a perfect way to commemorate old Auckland. Just catch an inner link bus and get off opposite the spca boutique.”
