Potters Park Takapuna

I must admit Potters Park this morning was a saving grace, up early for a 6 km charity walk along the bays, the children needed a playground to kill the time with while we waited for the race to begin. Potters Park has a lovely grassy area perfect for kicking a ball about or flying a kite, and the most beautiful rose gardens on site. You can sit and read a book on the many benches available. I was very impressed with the playground as I have taken my toddler to a few places that have been only good for the over 2 ½ age bracket, so for the mums who would love to see bub crawling, climbing and interacting with the playground a bit more heres your answer.
Of course the park has bathrooms on site care of the council, and right next door is a large public pay and display car park which is free on the weekends, what a bonus.
The Playground is only a small one, so if it is a busy time of day you might have to wait a bit for swings etc, however I recommend early on a saturday morning as on sunday the Anzac street carpark fills up with the Takapuna Sunday Markets.
