About Grey Lynn Park
Grey Lynn Park is a popular 10.5 hectare park surrounded by established trees and has plenty of recreational activities to suit the whole family.
The playground is a great spot for children to stretch their legs – they'll love the balancing logs, flying fox and climbing frames. There is also plenty of open space to run around or kick a ball. During the summer check out the free outdoor Grey Lynn Paddling pool for toddlers. This is fully fenced and monitored by a trained lifeguard.
For older kids there is an asphalt pump track, a basketball half-court by the paddling pool, and multi-use courts (basketball, tennis, volleyball and netball) at the northern end of the park, and a skate ramp.
Access from Elgin, Arnold, Dickens, Dryden, Farrar, Rose and Schofield streets, Murdoch Road and Williamson Avenue. You will need to park on the road.
Accessible toilets, changing rooms (owned by Richmond Rovers Rugby League Club), fitness equipment, picnic tables and seating, and drinking fountains are also inside the park.
Follow the 5.6km Grey Lynn Greenway Path from Williamson Avenue to Coxs Bay Reserve.
