Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Located next to the horrible Auckland zoo, this park features a small lake, a lot of greens and too many birds to even count.
While the place is not particularly interesting, it's as far away from the noisy city as can be, and you are better off walking through the park instead of going to the nearby zoo.

Although we were tired from walking around the Zoo we decided to have a look at the Lakeside Park, was a lovely easy walk but a long walk about 30 min around the Park, lots of Swans and ducks to see. Right next to the Zoo.

This is a disgrace - whom ever looks after this park needs to take a serious look and give this area some TLC. Scrubs trees in desperate need of pulling out and replanting. I felt embarrassed taking an overseas visitor there.

It is a beautiful lakeside park with plenty of varies birds, swans, ducks, pukeko, you name it. Location is very good in the mid of Auckland with main road in front of the park, and Auckland Zoo, and Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT) with tram line next to this park. A nice place for the whole family as a place for relax and picnic spot with good public transportation services. However, this park has too many swans and birds and the result is too many bird drops and swan drops scattered nearly everywhere, on the grass, on the walkways, make nearly impossible to set picnic mat on the the grass, and most likely visitor will step on the bird drops, yuck. And beside the drops, the grass surface made worse with too many swan feathers fall off everywhere. Come on Park Management, do something and make this park clean again and nice place for picnic spot.

I stayed close by and everyday I'd walk or run here. Nice place to sit or think, or to do some exercise. Plenty of birds including ducks, geese and swans! Pretty area.

This is a stunning park, great for weddings and events.
I think there could be another play area done and a cafe built onsite. Well kept grounds but needs another toilet block on motat side. And more seating for people who forget picnic rug 😊

Beware of burglars which is relatively common in this area. Park itself is nice though. Our car got broken into. Shame that such a nice park had to get 3 stars because of it

Nice walking track, it was clean and well maintained. Loved the greenery around. There are many fishes and eels in the lake, also there are many types of birds.
