Harbourview - Orangihina Park

My best friend and I went for a walk and it was nice. Should invest in some lights to be installed around when it gets dark and it would also help to have signs of where to go or how long the walk will be to the other side

Excellent parking spot for travelers and locals, well away from any noisy streets, and a great view out to the waitemata harbour. The car parks mostly suit small cars only. There is limited space for large vehicles but it can be a bit rough and muddy.

Best place for views of Auckland city, harbour bridge and Rangitoto all in one. Also perfect for a stroke out in the sunshine.

Didn't even know these walks existed! We enjoyed our lockdown walks here. Nice and quiet and close to the ocean. Simply beautiful!

Love this park. Great bites of the city & water & a beautiful enchanted forest as a bonus!

An amazingly beautiful place. From the car park near the roundabout, it's about a 25 to 30 minute walk to the point. The walk is a very wide stoney path, and flat. You can also bike it very easily. The views are definitely worth it, and there is a swimmable beach at the end. There's also quite a nice block of shops near the roundabout, for drinks after the walk!

The Orangihina Harbourview Park is a lovely park for a stroll, exercise, and relaxation.It is quite big and has various walkways through open fields, planted areas, and all the way down to the Whau River. There are two different carparks, with different walkways and attractions.The weather was typical Auckland. It went from clear blue skies, to overcast, to pouring rain, and back to sunshine again!If you feel up to it, you can walk 1.5km (one way) to the Enchanted Forest. For me, that was a massive bust. It was far to walk, with very few benches, for very little reward. It was so wet, and muddy, and slippery, with no clear path, so I couldn't risk going in more than about 5 meters, which was annoying. Younger and more agile people might want to go and check it out. It's definitely not pushchair friendly.When you enter from the roundabout on Te Atatu Road there is an unpaved carpark on the right (before the big carpark on the left). There is a paved walkway to the right. Follow this path for about 1.2km, with the horse paddocks on the right. The paved road will end, and become a grassy walkway (which at this time is a muddy mushy mess). After some 300m there is a huge electrical tower. The narrow entrance to the enchanted forest is on the left. From the bit I saw, (and the photos I saw from my friend, which prompted me to go), it could be very nice. It just wasn't for me.The rest of the walk/park was enjoyable though

Lovely and open spot with a great view. There is lots of grass to have a picnic or you could sit at one of the tables aswell. I went here after sunset and the lights from the city and bridge were super pretty.

Has a lovely view of the harbour Bridge and Auckland city. Great place to stop and eat your takeaways. Lots of other people around normally.
