A lovely park with great facilities. It has public toilets, car parking, benches to sit and eat, and a nice playground for children. There’s also a football field right beside it. A pleasant place for walking and relaxing.

Te Kotuitanga Park | Olympic Park Playground
77-83 Wolverton Street, Blockhouse Bay, Auckland 0600
Why these ages?
Description explicitly splits toddler and junior zones with shade sails over parts of the junior zone; infant swings, rocker, junior multi-play and sandpit anchor the little-kids area for genuine let-them-loose play. Flying fox, supernova, climbing net, embankment slide and half-court keep older kids and tweens engaged. 2017 NZ Recreation Association Outstanding Park Award. One reviewer flags 'spread out' making multi-kid supervision harder.
Access notes
Sealed paths and car parks make the wider reserve accessible for prams and wheelchairs, but the play area itself is described as sand surfaced, and a review confirms parts of the ground are covered in bark. That loose surface remains a barrier once inside the play zones.

Equipment
Te Kotuitanga Park, also known as Olympic Park, is a large destination playground in Blockhouse Bay with a flying fox, a climbing net, and a supernova spinner across separate toddler and junior zones, big enough for a full afternoon with mixed age groups.
