Proposed renewal and upgrade of Basque Park
Consultation has concluded
Basque Park is located within a mixed-use zone of residential and commercial buildings in Eden Terrace.
The park was originally designed in the early 2000s.
It includes a:
- lawn space
- seating area
- water feature.
Improving Basque Park
Despite its location and potential, Basque Park is under-utilised by our community.
This is due to a lack of:
- footpaths
- seating
- picnic spaces
- recreation/play areas.
A recent study by the Waitematā Local Board has identified Basque Park as an opportunity to provide a playground space.
Doing so will address the absence of facilities in the immediate area, providing a pleasant space for our community.

Pathway and better drainage
The park is very wet, getting muddy quite quickly. Better drainage and a path would be useful for walking through the park. This is a very popular place to walk pets from around the area, so removing available space wouldn’t be ideal. But better access such as paths would be helpful and even a few more seats.

Dog off leash area for apartment dogs in the area. Lots of people own dogs and take them to this park, would be great to have an area.

The park was great as it was before pipe work. Please NO playground! A few more trees perhaps and restore it to how it was, nothing else.

Add a stage
Basque park is almost like a natural amphitheatre. A stage that could facilitate performances music/spoken work etc would enhance the uniqueness of this public space

Mostly the park is used by dog walkers. This should be encouraged. Better drainage and paths would make it easier. Music in the park
Maintain sight lines from apartments is important for safety
