Queen Mary Reserve is a public park at 50 Queen Mary Ave in Grey Lynn, Auckland City, with a Google rating of 4.0.
A good neighbourhood reserve is simple and well used: open grass for ball games and walks, some shade, and paths that are easy to follow with a pushchair or a bike. If you are choosing a park for an outing, check for a playground, seating and nearby toilets before you go, since smaller reserves do not always have all three. In an established inner-city suburb like Grey Lynn, a local reserve is often the nearest open space for people in nearby homes, so after-school hours and weekends can be busy. Regulars know early mornings are the quietest and that grass can stay damp for a while after Auckland rain. Auckland parks often have set rules for dogs, so read the signs at the entrance, and take your rubbish home or use the bins.
For people living around Grey Lynn, Queen Mary Reserve on Queen Mary Ave is a handy green space close to home.
