Olympic Park, New Lynn

I have driven past Olympic Park New Lynn many times thinking it was only a children’s playground. Yesterday we decided to stop and explore.

And we found that it is more than just a children’s playground and a wonderful place to bring children for a discovery outing, and a short family friendly walk.

It is an interesting small area with paths, streams, statues and children’s playgrounds and a sandpit. Older children may enjoy using their scooters to get around.
This a great little area for people with disabilities to explore too.

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.
