The Auckland region is unrivalled in the number and quality of its parks and beaches. We have more than 4,219 parks covering 83,164 hectares or 16.6 per cent of the Auckland land area.
Our parks and reserves provide a vast range of experiences in a unique natural environment which include:
*walking on sandy beaches or through vast areas of native bush
*climbing volcanic cones
*picnicking
*swimming at beaches
*playing on playgrounds or at sports fields
*going camping.
It’s easy to find somewhere different to play, explore and be inspired. Best of all, they cost nothing to visit.
