Windsor Reserve
📍 Devonport, Auckland
Windsor Reserve sits on Devonport's waterfront with a tree-shaded playground for toddlers through older children, beach and pier access, a shoreside walk, and Devonport's main street of cafés, galleries, and jewellery shops directly adjacent.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Turns a playground visit into a half-day outing without extra cost. Ferry arrival from the city is part of the fun, dense shade keeps parents comfortable as kids play, and the main street provides easy café options. The WWII cannon at the summit is a genuine piece of history older children find compelling.

“Magic spot in the heart of Auckland city. A pier, a beach, shorewalk, shade under ancient old trees and lots of eateries. Great library across the road. Plus the stroll through the mainstreet is just lovely. Little galleries, jewelery shops, little surprises everywhere. My favorite part of Auckland.”

“Nice little reserve in Devonport. It has a kids playground and a public toilet, which is handy for families. It’s a nice and peaceful place to stop, relax and enjoy the area. Good spot for a short walk too.”
