Best places: Dog parks in Waitākere Ranges, New Zealand

👍👍 Stunning rose garden. Bring a picnic blanket. The palm tree section is too close to the motorway but otherwise a very serene botanical gardens! Definitely explore the African section too, before you wander off too far.

👍👍 I drive past Craigavon Park several times a week, and finally decided to make a pit stop. On the Portage Road side there is a big, fully fenced playground, with wide open spaces, picnic benches, BBQ -, and toilet facilities. It's a great dog and kid friendly park. There are no steps, and it's prett...

👍👍 Stunning beach with views out to the Manakau heads. Dog paradise! If you're not into dogs go to Cornwallis beach just around the corner.

Only real problem was that there is no water up there. There are bowls, but no water - make sure you take some...

👍👍 Great new dog park, suitable for small dogs or larger dogs. Plenty of room to run around and some agility obstacles for the dogs to play or train on. No bins on site however for dog waste so you'll need to take it back with you.
