Prospect Park is a neighbourhood park at 13 Pisces Rd in Glen Eden, Waitakere City, Auckland, and carries a 4.4 Google rating from visitors. At their best, suburban parks earn their keep through simple things: open grass for a kickabout, shade for hot afternoons, and paths that hold up through an Auckland winter. Regulars tend to come early, when dog walkers outnumber everyone else, and it pays to check on-site signs for on- and off-leash rules, which vary from park to park. After a stretch of West Auckland rain, expect grassy edges to be soft underfoot, so shoes that can take a bit of mud are a sensible call. For Glen Eden locals it's a handy patch of green on Pisces Rd, the sort of easy outdoor escape West Auckland does well.
