Orakei Basin

Beautiful and tranquil track in the middle of Auckland. Suitable for a jog, a run or walking with your dogs. Car park gate is closed at 9pm.

Absolutely beautiful spot in Auckland for the whole family, including the dog/s. Massive off leash area. Nice walking tracks and beautiful outlook. We absolutely loved our morning spent slowly making our way around the Orakei Basin. Definitely check out google/the council website before you go, though. If you're planning to do the loop walk I'd say you'd struggle with a pram due to the stairs near the Sailing Club House. Other than this, absolutely highly rate this walk. Was 10/10 for our family.

Orakei Basin offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. It's the perfect spot for relaxation, with stunning views and a serene atmosphere. Whether you're walking along the well-maintained trails, enjoying the scenic beauty, or taking your dog for a leisurely stroll, the area provides a refreshing break from urban life. The quiet surroundings and natural beauty make it an ideal place to unwind and recharge, making it a must-visit for those seeking a peaceful retreat close to the city.

Awesome track to have a good workout for a long walk or good run. Please watch out for the couple of staircases. Perfect views

A great walk around the basin. Lots of hidden secrets that you can see along the way. A great place to take the dog , they can swim in the water and safe. A nice big loop and plenty of parking in multiple locations. Lots of signage to assist with the path. Lots of food and drink options close by too. Great on a nice day
