Archibald Park is an Auckland Council park in Kelston on the Whau River, with the destination playground opening in late 2020. The play space features a 30-metre flying fox with all-ages seat, a 6-metre duck-maimai tower (inspired by the bird life on the Whau) with tunnel slide and interactive panels, a Flecto carousel, a six-bay Timba swing set with inclusive basket swing, monkey-bar fitness station, timber seesaw, and a fully fenced toddler zone with double-embankment slide, in-ground trampoline and age-appropriate gear. A nature-play area has timber balance beams and stepping logs, with gentle wheelchair/stroller-friendly paths linking to the Te Whau Pathway bike route.

Nestled in the heart of Kelston, Auckland, Archibald Park is a true oasis, a haven of delight for people of all ages. The expansive fields are a haven for sports enthusiasts, with rugby, soccer, and a pristine basketball court catering to every athletic whim. Meandering walking trails invite leisurely strolls, bike rides, or scooter adventures, culminating in a vibrant playground where laughter and excitement know no bounds. Towering trees, lush bushes, and the soothing touch of nature create a picturesque backdrop, elevating the park's essence. Beyond the playground, charming wooden houses, reminiscent of ancient island dwellings, offer cozy retreats for relaxation, picnics, or alfresco dining, sheltered from the elements. Convenient amenities include bathrooms and ample parking, thoughtfully positioned for ease of access. Yet, the crowning jewel is the pontoon, a shimmering strand stretching into the Whau River, where fishing 🎣 and boating enthusiasts converge. A small boat ramp beckons adventurers to explore the river's beauty, while the invigorating sea breeze tempts kite enthusiasts to take flight 🪁. My most treasured memory unfolds on a moonlit twilight, under the crescent moon 🌘, as I bid farewell to nature. I set a lantern-lit boat adrift on the Whau river, entrusting it with a whispered wish, watching as the wind whispers secrets, carrying it further, its radiance shining like a beacon in the darkness.

This park is very accesible from great north road. We went during mid day when its not crowded. The park is well maintained and walk path is flat, easy walk with PWD access and safe for elders. …
