What are the best parks in Auckland

New Zealand is known for its incredible landscapes and seaside locales. Some of the perfect places to experience their majesty are within the many beautiful Auckland parks throughout the city and surrounds.  As a port city, Auckland is blessed on all sides with gorgeous beaches, some of which can only be accessed through equally splendid national parks. Piha Beach, located on the western side of the Auckland Centennial Park, is a perfect example of this.

Auckland Domain

Located in the centre of the city, the sprawling Auckland Domain is home to botanic gardens, war memorials, historic landmarks, walking trails, and expansive greens fit for relaxing. Head down for a barbecue or just spend the afternoon walking through the beautiful gardens and recreational areas.
