Right in the middle of the city and surrounding the Auckland War Memorial museum (see my other post) this is a real gem. You can easily walk their from central Auckland and while it does involve some steep hills the route from the city has a a few sweet bush walks. The area is popular with joggers and fitness walkers and there are numerous grass playing fields for impromptu games of soccer or cricket. Next to the museum is the Winter Garden Pavilion which has indoor and outdoor gardens as well as a large fountain with an ice cream shop, duck pond and toilets nearby. The best place for a picnic or lie down is the gently sloping grass in front of the museum which has great views of the ports and harbour. The area is very spacious with plenty of sculptures and there are also regular concerts like Christmas In The Park and Starlight Symphony.
