Park up and relax while the kids pop manus all day 😁
Maraetai Beach
Best thing about Piha is the places to explore; Lion Rock, caves, dunes and rock pools 👍
Piha - Things to see and do - North Island
Be there early! This wharf fills up with keen fishermen fast! Great place for the kids 🎣
Cornwallis Wharf
Best place for picnics, play and relaxing- there's a cafe onsite, toilets and a dog park. Ask at the front desk about duck feed 🦆👍
Auckland Botanic Gardens
The view from the top is absolutely breathtaking! Great fun for families who love the bush but not the length.
Clevedon Reserve – Stairway to Heaven
A favourite among many families here in Auckland! During summer this place is packed!, make sure to arrive early to secure a parking spot 😁 There's plenty of room for the kids to play and lots of shady spots.
Wenderholm Regional Park
Another favourite among many families for gathering cockles. Be sure to check the notice whether shellfish can be collected or not.
