Parks, Beaches and Reserves

Parks and green spaces are a vital part of our city - they not only provide places to play and retreat to, they also are the City's "lungs".

Our vision is to provide quality outdoor recreational facilities which reflect the lifestyle of Waitakere City residents while protecting and enhancing our natural environment.
