Reviews explicitly confirm 'Playground is also fenced which is great for little ones to keep them safe inside' with dedicated toddler/preschool pieces. Tall play tower with tubular slides serves older kids. Tidal creek/mangroves nearby but fencing separates play surface.

Cox's Bay Reserve is really three parks stitched together around a mangrove-lined tidal creek in Westmere, and the playground at its centre is built as a single well-organised hub rather than a scattered layout, keeping sightlines easy for a caregiver watching children of different ages at once.

They have a volley ball court, netball and basketball court, gym equipments along the walkways which is great for extra training. Playground is also fenced which is great for little ones to keep them safe inside. A great place to take families to hang out and play.

Fairly a big park with a large playground in and around Ponsonby, Grey Lynn area. Long walks to Cox's bay, dogs on and off leash areas, board walks, green fields and picnic tables are plus points. However, the strong stench coming out from the nearby mangrove at some places of this park is not so pleasant, particularly in the summer :(

Great place for outdoor activities, picnics and hikes. Nature walk by little lake is lovely - you can see some trees under water. BBQ options available.

We love this park. We go every morning for a cycle & dog walk. Great cycling & walking but also a lovely kids park. And getting to see the ocean & the Sky-tower every morning is magic 😁🐾🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️ …

We booked the community room for our Xmas function. It was a bit warm without any air conditioner but apart from that it was a great location and will definitely go there again. Next time we will bring fans.

Felt like a small piece of a far away green countryside nestled amongst the city suburbs. Beautiful views of the sunset, great flat walking grounds. Appears quite a few people jog the track. Some really interesting walks through bush, around the park and hobbit like land. We even passed a paddock with a pony!. Great place, plan to return again soon., 👍✨

A regular greenland, the peripheries are smelly. Large enough for walking and dog walking. Have some exercise tools.

Too many are still making up their own rules. *Read the signs. *3 vehicles only. *Park between the two signs. *Leave by 9am. *1 night. *SC vehicle. Arrive at a decent time and you might find a space!
