"They need to do some maintenance. It is very unique place and very nice. We went there but the track was closed. I think because of how dangerous atm but I wish it could have been maintenance more than this. It is very beautiful place and hold many memories and history."
"Excelent park for children to play, dogs to run and go for a swim, and families to spend the day or do a picnic. The park has a historic feel and the battery towers are well preserved. Caution: The beach is currently closed due to flooding and ground slipping risk."
"Kennedy Memorial Park can be accessed from the Beach Road, Castor Bay in the North Shore of Auckland NZ. It is named to commemorate the late US President J.F. Kennedy. It is a WWII historic building and is suitable for small group picnics and a very popular venue for children’s birthday parties. The historical tunnels are open for guided tours on the second Sunday of each month, between 11.00 AM and 2.00 PM. Military Historian volunteers will guide you through the tunnels and explain the background to each feature. There are pictorial displays to support the information on the guns and you will learn about one of the finest examples of military defensive camouflage still extant today. History of this park goes back to WWII where the gun emplacements and tunnels you now see are the remnants of a 6-inch gun battery constructed during 1941 and 1942 as part of Auckland's World War II defenses. Castor Bay was one of three-gun batteries whose purpose was to defend the northern approaches to the Rangitoto Channel, the others were at Whangaparaoa and Motutapu. Apart from the WWII history, Kennedy Park is very popular because of its long, steep wooden staircase leading to the beach below. It is a great place to practice climbing steep staircases such as Devils staircase in the Tongariro alpine track. You will be challenged to descend and ascend a steep short span of roughly about 150 steep steps in 300 meters. The view from the top of the staircase over the Rangitoto island and the surrounding sea is magnificent!!"
"A lovely hidden gem in the north shore. Dogs friendly kids are optional ( JOKES ) Amazing views of Rangitoto, great steps exercise. Pack a lunch in sunny day quick swim and bring your rubbish back, great spot for a bit of city break."
