Why these ages?

Compact toddler-suited play area with infant swing, single multi-play tower with slide on bark. Flat, open reserve well away from road (reviews specifically call out 'safe for children'). Opanuku Stream is south along a walkway - not adjacent to play area. Modest equipment for older kids; disc golf and huge open field extend play for whole family.

Access notes

Henderson Park in Henderson is a large, flat reserve with a modest children's play area, a multi-play structure with a slide and a swing set including an infant seat, on a bark surface that suits toddlers through to early primary age. Older kids and whole families come for something rarer: Auckland's first permanent-basket disc golf course, a nine hole layout that winds across the open grass.

Such a beautiful hidden gem. I only just discovered this place while pokemon hunting and my.. my.. beautifully maintained, Lawns, facilities, it was just mesmerizing and serene. Really good for the soul, captivating and alluring. Nature and its bold giants (massive trees) towers over you while you enjoy the stroll in the park. Hopefully, they'll be left alone and not chopped down as I saw some had been. I would revisit again and again.

It's a big park that borders other reserves like the Opanuku stream reserve. Most of the walkways are even and paved, but there are also reasonable "off road" tracks. It gets a bit muddy and slippery after rain, so maybe stick to the paved …

Great park for riding a bike or taking the children for a walk or a child in a stroller. Huge green field. Ideal for a picnic, playing or running and it’s away from the road so safe for children. Excellent for walking dogs too.

Mint place! Has bars for adults, frizbee golf,a great walk way and massive field. They often have events on down there or paired with corbans estate. There's rugby, touch and soccer goals available. Great safe place for the family to go to. Has a fair amount of parking depending on what entrance you go in. There are toilets there however not normally kept in the best condition, you have been warned.

One of the most underrated bush walks in Auckland. This park features a half-to-one hour stroll through a forest along the Opanuku stream, connecting all the way south into Henderson Vally Park. Walkway on gravel, boardwalks, and bridges. Park contains a toilet, several entrances with parking, frisbee golf goals, and huge fields fantastic for outdoor activites and picnics. Bush is comprised of many native plants including Kauri, Kanuka, Cabbage trees and ferns. Birds such as Tui, Morepork, and Fantail may also be spotted in here.

Quite a big park/playground area with some shaded walkways. It connects to opuneke stream walk if you want to do a longer stretch- not much shade in summer on the long stretch but should be good when it’s evening or a bit cloudy. The …

I’m at the park at least once a week, has some good facilities like disc golf and exercise frames for pull-ups etc, nice place to go for a walk. In the summer there is shaded walks through the trees. Generally it’s nice and tidy and well maintained.
