Richard Park is a public park in Bucklands Beach, Manukau City, Auckland, with a Google rating of 3.0.
A good neighbourhood park 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 a family outing, check for a playground, seating and nearby toilets before you go, since smaller parks do not always have all three. In a coastal suburb like Bucklands Beach, it is worth bringing a layer, as the breeze off the water can turn cool even on a sunny day. Regulars know the quiet times are usually early morning and mid-afternoon, and that grass stays 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 with you or use the bins.
For people living around Bucklands Beach, Richard Park is a handy green space close to home.
