1: Grey Lynn Park
Grosvenor St, Grey Lynn
With a park that runs for blocks and long flat stretches of sealed paths, this is a great spot for learning to ride. There are a few steep bushy bits, so keep to the track circling the fields. There's a paddling pool for a summer splash, playground and hoops, and, naturally dozens of coffee spots nearby for coaches/parents to refresh themselves.
