There is a collection of children’s playgrounds (some with flying fox) that could provide a great incentive for doing the walk with children. Some people take bread to feed the ducks in the ponds near Westgate, but I don’t recommend this.

The view from the top of Flaunty Reserve across Auckland Harbour to the city can be breathtaking.
