Point Resolution Park is a public park at 158 St Stephens Ave in Parnell, Auckland, holding a strong 4.7 rating on Google.
The city's parks are council-maintained, and what you find at each one varies — playgrounds, toilets and drinking fountains are never a given, so it is worth checking the council's pages before planning a picnic. Locals time their visits around weather and crowds: weekday mornings are the quietest for a walk, while fine weekends fill with families and dog walkers, though dog rules differ from reserve to reserve, so read the signs at the gate. Shade and seating matter, because the Auckland sun is stronger than it looks, and the best-loved parks pair open lawn with mature trees.
For anyone wandering Parnell's galleries, boutiques and cafés, Point Resolution Park is a well-liked spot to stop and sit a while.
