The playground is a bit bland compared to what it was when I was younger, definitely built for smaller children. No bin in the area where parents and caregivers can sit which is a little inconvenient. Nice enough place with a badminton centre and tennis place too.

I walk this park often. Lovely peaceful place. Well cared for and mown regularly. We use The park mainly as a thoroughfare to get to the shops or the beach. Walkways linking each road we cross from the park to the beach make it easier to go directly from Grand drive. Cricket and baseball being played on Saturdays of a high calibre. Children’s playground and the Badminton centre are well used. My wife is a regular badminton player but finds the hall gets very hot in Summer. So glad we live close by.

Had a nice picnic under the trees while kids played on the playground. A table in the shade and toilet would have been helpful.

Great football field but bring your gumboots. The field closest to the clubhouse tends to get pretty boggy, especially near the verge. On the plus side, it is far more sheltered here than Metro Park.

Nice play area for the littlies but needs a toilet area close by. Paths are not well drained and are in places impassable in the wet season. Main cricket , football and baseball area very good.

Great little playground for the children, but a few more playground items would be good. Great well kept fields for cricket or football, touch, and training ground for all ball sports

My favorite park in Auckland. Visit this park almost everyday. Kids also enjoy to go there as there is a nice (but small) kids play area. There are lush green fields and various sport courts

Large sports area bordered by walk paths which are poorly drained and often impassable without gumboots in winter. Popular dog walk. Play area with equipment mainly suitable for toddlers.
