Te Koiwi Park is a park on Hunua Road in Hunua, Franklin, rated 4.0. Reserves out this way sit close to the Hunua Ranges, part of Auckland's main water catchment area, so rules around dogs, swimming and even mountain biking can be stricter here than at a standard suburban park, since protecting water quality for the city's supply takes priority over general recreation in these areas. It's worth reading any signage rather than assuming the same freedoms apply as at a local neighbourhood reserve, since restrictions can vary noticeably between one park and the next depending on how close it sits to catchment land. A quieter, more rural park like this one also tends to have fewer facilities than a big suburban reserve, so it pays to come prepared with your own water and supplies rather than expecting a kiosk or toilets on site. On Hunua Road in Hunua, Te Koiwi Park offers that kind of quieter, rural green space.
