Crum Park

Crum Park is HUGE. Massive, even. Gigantic. Large. You get the point. It’s a popular park for sports teams because there are tennis courts, soccer fields, and just heaps of wide open space. Its a great place to bring the dogs, there’s a water hole (for dogs, not for swimming), there are concrete paths around for wet weather walking, and there’s a playground for all the kids to play on. Go on a Saturday morning and you’ll see all the local school teams playing soccer and there’s club rooms too with some toilets. I see lots of mums here too running with their prams, so there’s that too.

This is an awesome park. The scale of it is insane. There are a number of tennis courts and plenty of football (soccer) fields which are also handy for all the other sports groups out there. That’s why whenever you go there to walk your dog or to just go for a mere stroll with a friend, you are likely to see the teams at practise on a Saturday morning playing a game or 10.
The space is also great for little kids, they can run around for miles. And there is a relatively new and modern play ground set up, which also doubles as an exercise spot. It’s a really neat place. I like to go there just to go for a walk and stretch my legs — get some fresh air. There are hills and plenty of stairs too, so it’s a great place for a workout!

One of my favourite Titirangi parks to walk the dog is Crum. This is due to it’s wide open spaces, bush setting and a water hole for Labrador dog to wallow in, not to mention the other well behaved pooches who we see on a regular basis morning, noon or night. Whatever the weather, it is a good day to walk the dog, the other thing about this park is that in winter it’s never too soggy to walk as there are concrete paths meandering through the fields. There are three soccer fields, well utilized by local teams. This park also has two tennis courts, playgrounds and clubrooms with toilets.
