98 Abbotts Way, Meadowbank, Auckland 1050, New Zealand park-icon-wath
Situated at 98 Abbotts Way in Meadowbank, Auckland, this official dog park is a wonderful destination for dog owners looking to offer their furry friends a spacious area to roam and play. The park features a large reserve with an off-leash area that's safely distanced from the main road, allowing dogs to run freely and enjoy the outdoors. A highlight is the dog pond, where your pooch can splash around, and there's even a hose provided at the car park for easy post-play clean-up. While the park does feature some muddy areas due to limited maintenance, many visitors find the natural environment appealing, especially for water-loving dogs. It's a favorite among local dog owners, although some note that it can be busier with joggers than socializing dog owners. If you’re prepared with gumboots and don’t mind a bit of mud, your dog is sure to have a fantastic time here, especially with the nearby dog-friendly cafes for a well-deserved treat after your adventures!

It’s a shame that there are muddy areas and the council doesn’t maintain the park very well. It seems a bit old and neglected and not kept to the level of Cornwall Park for instance. Despite that the off-leash area is far enough away from Abbots Way to be safe and all the dogs seem to ignore the wetland in the middle and run around having fun. Doggy waste bags, the hide at the car park and drinking bowls are a nice touch.

Best dog park in Auckland! Nice walk around with an area for the dog to swim. Even a hose to wash your dog near the car park.

First visit this weekend. Omg. Amazing. Gumboots a necessity and doggo will get filthy. But what fun. Lots of water for those water loving types. Lots of muddy puddles for the paddlers. Dogs had a best time. Lots of dog friendly cafes nearby. Look

Large reserve with a lovely dog pond. Very good park for exercise. It's always busy with joggers as well as dog walkers. Many people are here more to exercise than socialise, so it's not the friendliest park, but most will greet you. The dog pond is the most social area.
