Totara Park is one of Manukau's largest parks. Stretching over 216 hectares Totara Park has something for everyone.
Enjoy a tranquil, country atmosphere just minutes from the Manukau city centre (next to the 
Auckland Botanic Gardens). Relax and unwind amongst superb flora and fauna or stroll through rolling farmland, taking in views from Glenbrook and Manukau Heads to Rangitoto Island.
There are a number of walks ranging from twenty to forty-five minutes and a 3km farm track. The walks are relatively easy with steps provided in steeper places.
The Totara Park Pool is a free outside pool and paddling pool supervised by lifeguards.
Opening Hours: 10.00am to 6.00pm - November to March
10am to 8pm - December to February.
- The main picnic area is just off Wairere Road. You can take your own gas barbecue.
