I being my dog here and it's one of the better dog parks in the lower north shore. Wide open space and, in the evenings when I visit, always lots of doggies to play with. It is a sports field, so some evening there might be sports on, but still heaps of space for your doggo to run. There is also a playground and urban gym set up at one end of the park.

Excellent venue for families. Adventure playground, community garden and large oval for a very friendly community of dog owners.

Great safe park that’s engaging for toddlers and older kids. Ice big oval as well. Lovely view of the city/bridge and plenty of parking

The park itself is great, there are two fields, one probably for cricket and the other for soccer. However it is important to note the lack of transport and accessibility. Nevertheless, it is great especially for dogs, or even for events.
