Moire Park — Attraction in Henderson-Massey

Moire Park is beautiful! It is very big and has multiple entries. I initially went to Moire Road (because that makes sense, right?). There is an entry to Trees for Babies, where hundreds of trees were planted for babies born in Waitakere. Unfortunately there is no parking, except on the side of the very busy road 🚫

There is another entry at Granville Drive. This offers a big car park next to a great playground, sports field, sports club, basketball court, and toilets 🚻

🌴🌴There are many different walkways to explore. Some start at 1km, others are up to 3.45km. Unfortunately the markers are not great, and the arrows become confusing. At one stage I got a bit lost, and had to back track more than I would have liked 🚶‍♀️

🚗 The main area around the car park is paved, and pushchair friendly. If you want to explore the awesome bush areas, then be prepared for a bit of a hike, uneven ground, exposed tree roots, mud, and gravel road. But also the most astonishing clear water with lovely little waterfalls and native birdsong 🦜🐦 I wish I had my togs (costume), because I just wanted to dive in! I was particularly hot and bothered, and the crystal clear water looked so inviting 🏊‍♀️ It was a very...

Moore Park is a delightful escape, offering a refreshing blend of natural beauty and recreational opportunities. The expansive green spaces are perfect for picnics, games, or simply relaxing in the sunshine. The well-maintained pathways invite leisurely strolls, and the overall atmosphere is one of tranquility and enjoyment.

One of the most charming aspects of Moore Park is its hidden gems. I was pleasantly surprised to discover swings tied to tall trees far back in the field. They weren't professionally made, but they had a certain rustic charm that instantly transported me back to childhood. It was a simple yet heartwarming sight that genuinely lifted my spirits.

Moore Park is a wonderful place to spend time, whether you're seeking outdoor recreation or a touch of nostalgia. The park's combination of natural beauty and unexpected delights makes it a truly memorable destination. It's a place where you can reconnect with nature and rediscover the simple...

Just an honest review on the basketball court for the hoopers out west looking for a spot to play outdoors - The court is poorly made. Ground isn’t level so the hoop is too high depending on where you’re standing on the court and the seal is bumpy making it no good for dribbling a ball on. Poor drainage leaves slippery spots and puddles. The rim on the standard size hoop closer to the road isn’t level either, the front is tilted upwards. Rims also don’t have any shock absorbers so they’re extremely stiff meaning all your rebounds just end up bouncing off and rolling down the hill since it’s also not fenced. This court sucks, they had a blank canvas to finally build a decent court like the Albany burroughs on the shore and Silo Park in the CBD and they totally botched it. West deserves a decent outdoor court for scrimmages and I thought this could have been it but it’s beyond...
