Parks & Nature
You get an amazing view over the Manukau Harbour and there are a number of nice short bush walks. The visitor center displays interesting things about the history of the Waitakere Ranges and kids can have fun to learn about the native plants and birds in the Regional Park.

Pretty good walk through native bush (forest) and waterfalls. It's a good hike, so prepare to get sweaty on the way back up.

Nice beach to go for a longer walk along the beach at low tide. So check the tide before (http://www.metservice.com/marine-surf/tides/cornwallis). Good for safe swimming on the high tide.

Iconic Westcoast beach - must see! Go up the lion rock or a walk along the beach. Watch the sunset or go for a surf! It's beautiful.

This is one of my favourites. It's a bit longer drive on a gravel road. But totally worth it. The most amazing view from the top. Chances are that you maybe the only person on the beach. At low tide you can pick green lipped mussels from the rocks for dinner!

Another stunning Westcoast beach. Go to the beach or to the waterfall - whichever you prefer!

It's not really a park but it's a really nice walkway along the Marina. We take the kids out there quite often to go for a bike ride and have a coffee or drink at the end at the Squashbuckler.
