This is a 3ha reserve on the corner of Balmoral and Dominion roads. Families use the park for play and relaxation.

The park has Auckland's first water splash-pad which is great for children of all ages. A well-equipped playground surrounds the splash pad, with an accessible toilet nearby. The splash pad operates seven days a week from 10am to 8pm during the summer. 

There is a basketball court near the playground, a band rotunda and a 'learn to ride' track at the eastern end of the park.

The park is well connected with flat or gradually sloping paths. Most are accessible and suitable for prams and recreational cycling.

There are plenty of seats, picnic tables and protected trees, including radiata pine, queen, and phoenix palms which provide much needed shade around the park.
