Lake Pupuke — Attraction in Devonport-Takapuna

Lake Pupuke is a freshwater lake in New Zealand that's located in a volcanic crater between the suburbs of Takapuna and Milford on the North Shore of Auckland. The lake is 110 hectares in surface area and 1.3 kilometers wide at its widest point. It's about 150,000 years old and is surrounded by urban areas. The lake is popular for a variety of water sports, including swimming, diving, boating, and fishing. It's also managed as a mixed fishery. The lake is predicted to have a low health risk and is likely to meet national water quality guidelines for swimming. The lake is located in the middle of North Shore City. You can take "Lake Road" north from Takapuna central to reach Takapuna Pool and Leisure Centre, then the Pumphouse theater, and finally...

I got to visit this beautiful park and lake when I attended the Yoga in the Park that Meditation New Zealand hosted. It was such a beautiful experience.

The park is absolutely big, dogs are welcome. Parking inside is limited but decently-sized, I think. The day I visited it was full. There is a clean public toilet.

There are tables fronting the park and the lake. You can also opt to bring your own picnic mat and lay out on the grass.

Such a beautiful place to hang out with friends...

Beautiful lake which is a volcano, about 150,000 years old. Apparently It is an explosion crater which has formed a basin. The crater has been filled with fresh water When volcanic activity ceased, the crater filled with fresh water, forming a 107-hectare lake.

Lake has also got a wooden bridge and a pump house near by. White & Black swans around make it a natures beauty...
