Reviews of JF Kennedy Memorial Park
I.
It’s within Auckland city. Choose a time during sunset- and take a walk upto cliff stair case . It will be one of the precious moments.
x.
Cool walk with stunning views. Interesting to see the tunnels. The stairs are a great workout but it also seems very private
P.
Paradisiac place. get ready to sunbathe and go up and down a staircase with a one million dollar view :)
C.
Great place to walk your dog, find out about how we played a role in the war, and a play ground for children. Great views of the bays. Stairs down to the beach are currently out of order, due to storm.
L.
Wow! I never knew this place existed. Absolutely worth a visit with the kids, dogs family and friends. The beach is soooo nice and there’s way less people and dogs. You basically have the whole beach to yourself. I will try and load photos next time
C.
The beach is great, and dogs are allowed. There are many steps to climb going down onto the beach and pretty gruelling climbing back up to the top!! Beach is wonderful for walking dogs!!
J.
A refreshing view to walk around. It has a touch of our New Zealand history used after the start of World War II. This battery bay was part of a nationwide coastal defence system and played a key part in Auckland’s WWII Defences.
A.
The staircase of doom - a Bali like steep staircase by the seaside. This must be auckland's worst kept secret, a good getaway from the overcrowded takapuna beach. Many fitness enthusiast loves to run up and down the stairs... so, if u feel like a leg day, time to take the challenge.
B.
Multiple ways to get here either from Castor Bay beach area or one of the access points (including the main entrance) on Beach Road.
Really large park with beautiful views of the Hauraki Gulf along the edge of the park. There is a walkway (Kennedy Park Walkway) that joins the park to Castor Bay beach area. The playground is near the parking lot and there is a path from the parking area to the battery where you can see the gun emplacements. Following the path further leads you to a staircase which goes down to the beach and is used by people for exercise. There are also other WWII facilities in the area.
Not much tree cover in the park so not ideal for really hot sunny days. It does have a lot of open space so nice for a run around.
G.
Cool piece of coastline with some great history. Stairs down to beach are an engineering triumph and the climb back up is gutbustingly awesome, if your legs aren't burning after the climb go back down and do it again
P.
The lookout is great. Gives you a wide spacious view of the sea. Awesome spot to get good silhouette of Rangitoto. The park is clean and wide too. The pillboxes where they used to install guns are amazing historical landmarks. This is the place where you will find the "stairs of doom." Sometimes you will find people running up and down the stairs as a part of their workout program. It's quite a climb that stairs though.
The sea shore is not so good. Stay on the elevated part, I would say.
E.
An all day dog beach, even in summer gives this place my 5 star rating. The stairs down to the beach are immense and quite the workout. Do them a couple of times and you'll be buggered. Beach can be completely underwater in very high tides.
C.
I love this park. Great big lawns to run on and also a great sand play area for the little ones while the older kids climb the rope tower. Only pitty is the "stairs of doom" haven't been fixed yet and it was a very well used set of stairs by many people
N.
Best beach to bring the doggos. Completely off leash all year round. Good for swimming at high tide, there's exposed reef on low tide. Pick up your doggo poo chur.
D.
Sunday 12 Feb 2017. Awesome park with great walk down steps to the beach/rocks @ low tide and nice walk past some amazing homes to Castor Bay beach - did the tour of the WWII tunnels, loads of history.
N.
Love them stairs woke my legs up real good
R.
Great park, with the beach if you follow the stairs down. Fantastic view. Good for walk, Natural beauty. Kids playgroud as well.
B.
Great place for dog walks. Our client from Lil Luka dog walks love going there.
A.
Very nice park! First time there, what a beautiful surprise! A large green area and a long walk along the cliff. And if you want to stay fit nothing better than a run on the beach after a 142 steps staircase. But remember you have to climb it back 😁😁😁
B.
Absolute bliss place to go Highly recommended stunning views
P.
Nice park with great sea views.
There's a big play ground for the kids.
Great place to improve your fitness by walking or running up and down the stairs to the beach below.
A.
Decent park for the kids with good sand pit area. What is great though, is the trail walk running along the cliff top.
S.
A lovely park and children's playground. Lots of steps down to the beach. Lovely to have a dog friendly beach. Low tide meant there was little water for swimming.
B.
A spacious well maintained park with cliffside steps down to the secluded beach
J.
Great place for kids to learn some history . Stairs to beach great for the cardio and can take dog down there all year round
P.
It is so lovely here, steps to run up and down if you want, WW11 tunnels with an interesting guide. Great play ground for children, shade of lovely pohutakawa trees.
A.
Absolutely beautiful
T.
Great park for kids and adults alike. Good kids play ground with lots if open spaces for ball games or picnics
N.
What an awesome spot. Gona master those steps!
S.
Great spot with views of North shore . It is closed off currently due to maintenance on steps...opening soon. Good grass to walk. Has underground tunnels you can visit 2nd Sunday of month...take torch and gold coin entry. Very good playground for kids. Toilets on site. Place lots of history with old war buildings.
l.
Beautiful place, playground with shade and access to the beach
j.
Great playground and park. Also Kennedy Patanque Club Headquarters and tunnels built with guns to protect our shores 2nd. World war
J.
Interesting to see the old military installation and munition tunnels.
G.
Great recreational & historical spot.
A.
Really interesting little park with some cool gun replacements and history.
C.
Picturesque park overlooking Castor Bay. The park itself holds well preserved and maintained WWII buildings and fortifications with some excellent information boards as you walk the park.
There are normally stairs down to the beach and these are frequented by exercise fanatics, however recent bad weather has made these unavailable following slip damage with no known timeline as to their return.
T.
Small park with a reasonable playground and little spots to sit and enjoy the fresh air rushing up the cliffs. Grass is quite thick to be useful for picnics.
9.
So the story was really good, had alot of depth even though she's a bad story teller... I enjoyed the part where she talked about the mosquitoes and no one listened. Overall I give it 4 out of 5 stars THE END.
J.
If you don't live nearby, this one will have passed you by. A long field of grass above the sparkling Hauraki with beautiful views, and usually a long staircase down to the beach which periodically gets ruined by landslides (which it currently is, as of Autumn '18). But...you do get to see the remains of wartime Auckland scattered about, which is worth the stop. The cute 30's house is actually a disguised concrete observation bunker (you can rent it if you're into DooWoop Era parties), there are gun emplacements for the kids to explore, and various concrete things lying around. Lots of info boards for the olds, and plenty to clamber on for the young. AND a playground too! Popular with the petanque crowd - there's a club there you can join. Recommended if you're wandering down the coast road on the way to lunch in one of the Bays...
V.
One of north shores best park secrets
