Ledges, banks and a set of stairs make the Takanini Reserve Skatepark more of a street spot than a bowl park. It sits in Takanini Reserve on Taka Street in South Auckland, next to a basketball court and close to the railway line.
A skate video filmed at the park lists a rail, concrete benches, a manual area, quarter pipes and even a grass gap among its features. It is a free council park.

About Takanini Reserve Skatepark
This is a smooth concrete park built around street obstacles. In a 2014 spot-check video, the riders who filmed it listed a rail, concrete benches, ledges, a manual area, banks, quarters, a grass gap and a set of stairs, with street parking on Taka Street. Those are the kinds of features that reward people who like lines and ledge tricks more than transitions.
The basketball court sits right beside the concrete, so a mixed group can split between hoops and boards. Auckland for Kids includes the park in its list of Auckland skateparks under its Taka Street address.
Because the best detailed description of the obstacles dates from 2014, expect some changes on the ground. The bones of a street park, ledges, banks and steps, tend to stay put, but check before you head out if you are coming for a particular feature.
