Michael Joseph Savage Memorial Park

One of the most beautiful places to visit in Auckland. How profound way to keep the memory on Michael Joseph Savage.

Good look out point, we were able to find parking easily. Gardens were beautiful (heard during Jan/Feb it's more beautiful as the flowers blossom). Unobstructed view of the sky tower in the back drop. Must do on the way to Mission Bay.

Nice view but the path to Mission Bay is kind of hidden

Beautiful place but needs a little pressure washing on the walkways because it gets slippery when it's wet due to all the algae. It's a really nice place for walks and picnics or just to clear your head.

Michael Savage look out is one of the greatest places you can visit in the area for scenery fantastic views of the harbor and Auckland city. You're also very close to one of the Maori meeting locations and if you have the inclination you can certainly visit it as well.

Good Place to see a birds eye view of Auckland

A very beautiful memorial park in Auckland with beautiful flowers and green grass. I love this peaceful and relaxing place very much.

Amazing park, right on Tamaki Drive

It is a popular tourist attraction for both international visitors and locals.

The main feature is the obelisk tower, base of which has an epitaph embedded to honour the late Prime Minister.It has good toilet facilities, ample parking spaces and quite a few benches to sit and relax. It is also popular among dog walkers.
