Parks and Cemeteries

The Parks, Regional Parks and Cemeteries run by Auckland Council vary significantly in size and in the services that are available.

Our parks and open spaces play a big role in how Auckland looks and feels, and help us to:

  • Express our culture and heritage
  • Get active and stay fit through sports and recreation
  • Gather together as a community through events and festivals
  • Link the city together, and help people get to their destination
  • Take care of our environment and enhance our native biodiversity.
