Discover the new pocket park at Home Reserve in Grey Lynn
Check out this cute pocket park in Home Reserve in Arch Hill in Grey Lynn that has had a makeover with a new playground and half basketball court. The small intimate park means neighbours can meet and watch their children play and have fun together while they catch up at this family-friendly Auckland playground.
The park is partially fenced and has a wooden tower with two slides and some wooden stepping stones and a small climbing net for the little kids.
The half-basketball court is fun for young kids, teenagers and adults to shoot some hoops and enjoy playing basketball outside with their friends. With the half court kids can learn how to take turns playing offense and defense roles and practice dribbling as well as play some fun basketball shooting games together.
Auckland for Kids likes the tui’s painting between the playground and the basketball court, but we live the local’s sign ” We Love Home Reserve” sign even more!
