Raewyn Place Esplanade Reserve is a public park in Burswood, Manukau City, Auckland, with a Google rating of 4.0.
An esplanade reserve is a strip of public land set aside beside water, usually a stream, estuary or coast, so people can walk along it and the edge stays protected. A good one has a clear path, some shade and signs telling you where you can and cannot go. If you are choosing a spot for a walk, check for toilets, seating and parking nearby, and expect the ground to be soft after rain. Regulars know that tides can change how a waterside reserve looks, that early mornings are quietest, and that it pays to keep to the marked paths to protect plants and wildlife. Auckland parks often have set rules for dogs, so read the signs at the entrance, and take your rubbish with you.
