    Beautiful park with some challenging hills
    This is a great park for various reasons. First, it's a great garden and generally has a wonderful display of flowers. It's groomed to perfection, thanks to Auckland Council's dedicated team. The flowers change with the season, so it's always a surprise. It's also a great place for families and friends to meet. It's where people have graduation pictures taken and also enjoy lunch of dry days. It's a great place for some exercise. You can climb up and down steep steps and enjoy flat areas while doing a circuit. It's a great place for a lunchtime walk!

    This is a really wonderful park in the centre of Auckland. It is spacious with some lovely gardens and statues. We spent quite some time just wandering around the whole park and enjoying its peaceful. relaxing atmosphere..

    Pretty Park
    This was a pretty park that we wandered through during our walk around Auckland. We started on the University of Auckland side and walked through the park to the Art Museum. Flowers were in bloom and tall, mature trees were nice to see throughout the park. In the center, there was a grouping of cannons next to a small memorial to veterans along with a statue of Queen Victoria. If it wasn’t for the off and on sprinkles then we would have spent more time here since they had lots of benches all around the park.

I found this park jogging from the Sheraton 4 Points and it was a pleasant place to jog but also returned later to sit and take in the peace and quiet. There are a few historical states, one of Queen Victoria. It's just a nice quiet place to relax in the middle of the city.

This is a lovely park in the middle of a busy city. It's a nice escape and has plenty of benches around so you can sit and linger. Locals bring their lunches here as well. We enjoyed spending time here to relax after doing a lot of walking.

Beautiful place to just wander sit and relax. My 2 boys and I enjoyed wandering around the park and doing the fitness circuit (walking) around the University. Beautiful old historic buildings in which the Uni campus is built around. Would love to go to this Uni!

A nice, small park in the north of the city, not far from the university. Named after Prince Albert the park has some lovely native trees as well as plenty of flowers for that splash of colour. An ideal spot to sit and watch the world go by before heading off for some retail therapy in the nearby streets.

Albert park is a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. It's a bit of a hike upwards but the trees are beautiful and the grounds well kept (no garbage anywhere). Would have appreciated more benches in the area to sit on.

This well maintained park is near the Art Museum and University of Auckland. In here there are quite a few places to sit and relax. There are some nice statues and sculptures. We enjoyed the view of the many nearby towers including the clock tower of the university and the Sky Tower.

Probably the most incredible old trees we've ever seen. Worth a walk through in the morning or afternoon to get away from traffic and city bustle.

I was jogging this morning and happened to end up in the Albert park. What a beautiful place. Many very old trees, clean and very impressive. If you love nature, it is a must go in my opinion.
