Potters Park

Potters Park sits on three hectares at the corner of Balmoral and Dominion Roads, and its splash pad — Auckland's first — tends to be where children make a beeline on a warm day. The water play area is ringed by a well-equipped playground, with an accessible toilet close at hand.

What it is

Beyond the splash pad, a basketball court sits near the playground, while a learn-to-ride track at the eastern end of the park gives younger cyclists room to build confidence. A band rotunda adds a little character to the green space, and plenty of picnic tables and seats are scattered throughout.

The park is threaded with flat or gently sloping paths that are accessible and suitable for prams and recreational cycling. Radiata pines, queen palms and phoenix palms throw generous shade across the reserve, making it a comfortable spot for families to settle in for the afternoon.

Potters park is a nice, clean and well maintained park in central Auckland. Its location is quite impressive for all Aucklanders, just in the middle of dominion road near the all good restaurants. Lush green grass with amazing facility for the play for the kids along with with toilet facilities and ample parking space make it more valuable for the parents.

Not only does it boast a variety of play equipment, but the abundance of play equipment ensures endless fun for the kids, just don't forget their togs! The shady trees and charming band rotunda add to the park's appeal, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely picnic lunch or dinner. Plus, its proximity to takeaways provides a convenient option for those who prefer not to bring their own food. Overall, it's a fantastic destination for families seeking both relaxation and recreation.

This is a delightful park which has more than just play equipment. It has a lot of water play equipment so make sure the kids bring their togs. It has nice shady trees and a band rotunda. A great place for a picnic lunch or dinner and close to takeaways if you don't feel like bringing your own.
