Tahurangi / Crum Park is an Auckland Council park at 52A Hilling Street in Titirangi, West Auckland. It holds a 4.4 rating from 390 Google reviews, with visitors praising the walking tracks, native bush and views, and calling it a hidden park with soccer fields and tennis courts behind a small roadside entrance.
Suburban parks like this are easy to underestimate. Entrances are often little more than a gap between houses, so it pays to check a map before setting out, and bush tracks can turn muddy after rain, which is when decent shoes earn their keep. Playing fields tend to belong to weekend sport, leaving weekday mornings quiet for walkers and runners. The mix is the point: a climb through native vegetation for the view, then open ground and a game below.
On Titirangi's doorstep, at the edge of the Waitākere Ranges, this is the sort of park that rewards the small detour.
