Parnell Rose Gardens


AKA the Dove Meyer Robinson Park...probably not worth the trip there on its own but if you are going to be in the area it is more than worth it.  As you would expect there is a nice rose garden as well as a collection of other small gardens, flowers, impressive trees, monument to the Korean War, short walks and ponds.  There is a car park next to the rose gardens which is a popular place to park up and look out over the Ports of Auckland to the Harbour and beyond or if you walk up the steps there are some nice seats to enjoy the view.  Most people parking here are usually eating takeaways which seems to have resulted in a resident population of wild cats/kittens (better than rats I guess).  The park also borders a nice lagoon and the Parnell Baths (swimming complex)
