WINDSOR RESERVE CAMBRIA RESERVE

Watch the boats and harbour life from the top of Maungauika, the ‘poor man’s helicopter’ and our America’s Cup grandstand..

Located on Victoria Rd, next to Devonport Beach, this is a state-of-the-art playground with a nautical theme. One feature resembles the Bean Rock lighthouse in the Waitemata Harbour. It has been a big hit with the youngsters.

Another playground located at one of our beautiful beaches where many locals learn to sail, Narrow Neck’s playground is small but with a beautiful view and right next door to the beach cafe which sells all the Kiwi necessities, including pies, hot chips and ice creams. Across the road is Woodall Park with a volleyball court and open fields. This little gem is tucked away off Church St, and is handy to to the Devonport Museum, It is a tranquil place to wander on winding paths through trees and landscaped gardens, The reserve sits in the remains of Takararo volcano, quarried for scoria rock between 1883 and 1985 – making it Devonport’s ‘missing maunga’. PUMP TRACK

The pump track at Woodall Park, located between the golf course and Narrow Neck Beach, is a community creation to keep keen young bike riders busy. The park also includes a couple of public tennis courts and basketball hoops, as well as ample open space

NARROW NECK BATH ST RESERVE SKATE PARK

This modest playground for the little ones is steps away from the northern end of Cheltenham Beach, one of Devonport’s finest, complete with great views of Rangitoto Island. You’ll likely see paddleboarders and windsurfers going past. Too hot? Just wander down Vauxhall Rd to Cheltenham Milk Bar, which serves delicious gelato and milkshakes. Whether you have a skateboard in tow or not, visiting the Ngataringa Skate Park has long been a youthful rite of passage in Devonport. Located across Lake Rd from the golf course, and a 10-minute walk from Narrow Neck Beach, the park on reclaimed land also has a shady walk around the outskirts overlooking the mangroves.
