What an asset to New Plymouth and Taranaki this park is. Absolutely adored wandering around... the birds and animals are the stars, for sure. Lovely gardens, too. And the fresh fruit soft serve ice cream from the van there... best I've ever had! Wonderful way to spend some time.

pulled up and it was already packed. lights coming through the trees as well as music bouncing around lowkey unreal vibe. you sit there shoulder to shoulder with strangers but it doesn’t feel weird. Really shocked that was in np sound actually carries so well, you don’t even need to be close. one of those places where you forget your phone exists for a bit and just stay there longer than planned. feels very np summer coded. such a good memory spot.

Came for Rock the Bowl. It was flipping awesome. The venue just awesome. Gave off similar vibes to Black Barn in the Hastings. 10/10 would love to return.

Brooklyn Park and Zoo is an amazing place for kids! The park has tons of space to run around, with cool playgrounds and picnic areas that are perfect for family fun. The zoo part is really exciting too—there are so many animals to see, and the exhibits are interesting and easy to explore. You can learn about different animals and watch them play. There are also fun activities and educational programs that make the visit even more exciting. It’s a great spot for a day out, full of adventure and learning!

This is just a small fraction of what is accepted nationwide as one of New Zealand's. Most beautiful parks especially in summer when the lights are added, it has a lovely atmosphere and many people reflect this with smiles
