Maygrove Esplanade Reserve is a park in Orewa, Rodney, rated 4.2 by visitors.
An esplanade reserve running along the water tends to double as a shared path for walkers, joggers, cyclists and scooters, so keeping to the correct side and being aware of faster-moving traffic matters more here than on a standard park path. Regulars know these reserves often get busiest at either end of the day, when people fit in exercise before or after work, so a midday visit tends to be quieter. Checking whether the path is fully paved end to end is worth doing before bringing a scooter or a bike, since some esplanade reserves have unsealed sections. A reserve like this also tends to catch more wind than an inland park, given its position along the coast.
In Orewa, Rodney, Maygrove Esplanade Reserve is a local option for a walk or a ride by the water.
