★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent parking spot for travelers and locals, well away from any noisy streets, and a great view out to the waitemata harbour. The car parks mostly suit small cars only. There is limited space for large vehicles but it can be a bit rough and muddy.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Didn't even know these walks existed! We enjoyed our lockdown walks here. Nice and quiet and close to the ocean. Simply beautiful!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Big open green space, we went on the walking track but lots of people where in the carpark just sitting there eating McDonald's and looking out towards the city. You have water views looking back at auckland city. The walking tracks concrete and wide enough for four side by side. A lot more could be done with the area but a nice place to stretch your legs or run the dog.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Orangihina Harbourview Park is a lovely park for a stroll, exercise, and relaxation.
It is quite big and has various walkways through open fields, planted areas, and all the way down to the Whau River. There are two different carparks, with different walkways and attractions.
The weather was typical Auckland. It went from clear blue skies, to overcast, to pouring rain, and back to sunshine again!
If you feel up to it, you can walk 1.5km (one way) to the Enchanted Forest. For me, that was a massive bust. It was far to walk, with very few benches, for very little reward. It was so wet, and muddy, and slippery, with no clear path, so I couldn't risk going in more than about 5 meters, which was annoying. Younger and more agile people might want to go and check it out. It's definitely not pushchair friendly.
When you enter from the roundabout on Te Atatu Road there is an unpaved carpark on the right (before the big carpark on the left). There is a paved walkway to the right. Follow this path for about 1.2km, with the horse paddocks on the right. The paved road will end, and become a grassy walkway (which at this time is a muddy mushy mess). After some 300m there is a huge electrical tower. The narrow entrance to the enchanted forest is on the left. From the bit I saw, (and the photos I saw from my friend, which prompted me to go), it could be very nice. It just wasn't for me.
The rest of the walk/park was enjoyable though
