As part of our investigation into the recreational facilities in Avondale our class went on a trip to Olympic Park. Although officially part of Waitakere City we thought the facility close enough to be considered local.

Olympic Park

Olympic Park is a fairly new park that has been developed on the border of Avondale and New Lynn. It is a big, interesting park that is for people of all ages. It's a public park.

Olympic park has a big fun climbing net. There are toilets at the park. At the bottom of the park is a sand pit with a playground in it. Near the playground are two slides. There are some nice tables and seats so you can eat. Also at the park are some swings. The park has some spinners that lots of children like. Down a little further is a Basketball court for bigger kids. Around the park is a big pathway that adults can do their exercise on. Near the toilets are two bridges.

Olympic Park is in Waitakere City. It's found on Wolverton Rd near Portage Road. It's found next to St John's ambulance. Children and teenagers can enjoy the basketball court. There is a lot of parking. It also caters for little children. Big children can enjoy the climbing frames and spinners. People of all ages can use the fitness court. Although this is a brand new park there are lots of other parks and recreational facilities in Avondale. Some of the other local parks you might like to check out are Chalmers Reserve and Riversdale Reserve.
