    Potters Park is beautiful and historic with gorgeous tall Norfolk Pines and a darn good playground…read more(and, randomly, an award-winning toilet block). The park's amenities also include basketball courts which always seem to be in use and one of the most excellent things about the playground here is that it's fully fenced. I've spent a lot of time in this park and can recommend it for kids of all ages. I would say though to go hard on the sunblock and make sure the kids are wearing hats, because the Westerley sun in the afternoons is haaaaarsh bro. I know that's probably a bonus to a lot of people but I'm part vampire and just melt. Despite the traffic at the busy intersection, this is another of Auckland's really great green spaces and the "pigeon lady" who feeds the birds here is one of the local Balmoral personalities that make it such a cool neighbourhood.

    I know Potter's Park only because it hosts the terrific annual Auckland International Cultural…read moreFestival, and it make the perfect location. The park is big enough so that there's plenty of room for a good-sized stage as well as heaps of stalls, but small enough so that it still feels like a community event, and you're pretty much guaranteed a good view even if you're not right at the front. There's also all the usual parky stuff - a playground, toilets, and lots of big old trees, so I'd say it'd be a good spot for any of the other events it regularly hosts - including Family Fun Days, Carols by Candlelight, and the Community Spirit Family Carnival - as well for a family day out.

    I have driven past this park so many times in the past couple of years and never ever ventured in,…read morefor the reason that it's not in my hood. So I was really happy to have the opportunity to attend a Free Music in Parks concert sponsored by Auckland City Council. Nixon Park may be more famously known for its Skate park or the two half courts to shoot some baskets. My experience of the park was when it transformed into a community of music and a sea of people, young and old, to enjoy free music and a free space to relax upon. Fantastic trees on the west side of the park, which provide shelter from the sun when it is at its most powerful comes in handy when you don't have sunscreen, are with little kiddies, or just need some time out from the rays. In this little oasis of trees you will also find a really cool tree swing that glides out for some free play time. The kids playground is small, but really good for the fifteen month to six year old, they have a few slides, see saws, and swings, not as modernized as of yet, but I'm sure it won't be long till they revamp this kids play area. Always enjoy a good Auckland park, and this was a great find.

    Most kids rate Nixon Park for its skate area or the little playground. Mine rate it because of a…read moredodgy old rope swing up the hill at the back, hidden in the trees. Injuries have been sustained and I doubt it is remotely OSH approved but, just like back in the day, the home-made rope swing kicks the arse of those PC playgrounds. I don't know who put it there but I am glad that no one has (yet) had it pulled down due to misplaced (and misappropriated - if you don't like it don't let your kids play on it) safety concerns. True they have to be a bit careful about hitting the ground when they swing back but that's all part of the fun. And yes, that loop could be dangerous and yes, my son has got his leg caught in it and scraped the bejesus out of his torso (if a mishap is at all remotely possible, it will happen to him). But they LOVE it and I can totally see why. Just keep an eye on them - I'm constantly surprised at how many parents feel supervision is unnecessary (in all kinds of situations!). Nixon Park is also pretty cool for family and music events with its big flat field and the Kingsland Karnivale that took place last weekend was a lot of fun for everyone - with some particularly good shopping. And I do always love to see the carefree Titirangi dancing come and visit the central suburbs.

    Having grown up just off Sandringham Road, I spent many hours as a child playing in Gribblehurst…read morePark. There are two playgrounds - one is more for the littlies, and the other (which is up some stairs so is obviously cooler) is a little more adventurous and appeals to slightly older kids. Gribblehurst Park also offers a flying fox, a BBQ, plenty of room for picnics, a rugby field complete with clubroom, a bowls club situated in the far corner and a wee rose garden up the hill. This variety means it is a park that caters to virtually every age group, and I admit as I have gotten older I still frequent Gribblehurst often. As a teenager my friends and I would grab hot chips and milkshakes from the local fish and chip shop and set up camp in the park for a few hours on summer afternoons. Then as a young adult I began attending 21st parties, and many of them were held in the clubroom. It's a pretty decent venue for parties and private functions - there's room for a dance floor, there's lots of seating, a full bar, projectors and TVs and it's not too far to taxi in to town afterwards. Tip: During rugby season try to avoid driving through Gribblehurst Park on Saturdays - it gets really parked up and there are kids and dogs running around everywhere. It's a driver's worst nightmare.

    I used to live across the road from Gribblehurst park, and I got to know it pretty well - you get…read morethat when you are under the influence at 3 am. You find things. You see things. However, Gribblehurst park is just as good in the light of day. You have your basketball court, your adventure playground, your rugby field - and best of all, a flying fox. I wish there were more flying foxes everywhere. How much better would walking down hill be if you could jump up and hop on a flying fox? Gribblehurst Park also hosts the Edendale bowling club and a petanque pitch, so it is more then just a vast green expanse in the middle of Sandringham.
