Barry Curtis Park

Sir Barry Curtis Park in Flatbush was farmland and some of the farm’s old stone walls remain.

Today was our first visit

The walkways are extensive but many of them come to a sudden dead-end. Random hills with no paths. And extremely muddy after rain (today we got mud splashed to above our knees!).

It appears that a great deal has been spent on structures and walkways in this park, and apart from the children’s playground and skateboard park, there is nothing to attract walkers.

We would have liked to have seen gardens and a cafe for starters. And an off leash dog exercise area. However, it looks as though it is a fun place for children to ride bikes and scooters. The walking route is also great for prams/buggies.

This project began in 2011. My friend Grace was the walk creator – with her knowledge of Auckland, she could “see” circular routes, and then it was up to me to map out, photograph, research and document the routes. At first, I relied upon my voice recorder and Google maps but then with the advancement of technology, the smart phone became a best friend and I was able to track our route. The best fun was when we were both pleasantly surprised by what there was to see. Beautiful wetlands, views and bush kept us inspired to explore more.
