Rocket Park
About the Business
Rocket Park is a beloved playground institution located in Mt Albert War Memorial Park, Auckland. Families from all over the city flock to this establishment to let their children experience the thrill of scaling the bright blue-and-red rocket, which serves as the centerpiece of the play area. However, the fun doesn't stop there. Rocket Park offers a wide range of equipment suitable for children of all ages, from preschoolers to pre-teens.
On busy days, there may be a waiting line to play on the popular rocket, which boasts three levels for children to conquer. Additionally, the playground features a swing set and a dedicated area with colorful equipment designed specifically for little ones, including a small fort with a slide. Inclusivity is also a priority at Rocket Park, as it offers a Liberty swing for children in wheelchairs.
Safety is paramount at this establishment, as the playground is partially fenced and features astroturf, marbled concrete, and a cushioned play surface. Adults can also make use of the gym equipment located around the perimeter of the playground, while families can enjoy the grassy area for outdoor games and activities.
To ensure everyone stays sun-safe, shade sails are strategically placed throughout the play area, and trees can be found dotted around the perimeter. For convenience, public toilets and picnic tables are available on-site. It is worth noting that the only parking available is on the street, so walking to Rocket Park is highly recommended.

"Superb and lovely park. Specially for kids."
"Nice little park. The rocket ship is still awesome and built in small stages so it's scarily high, but you can fall about 1.5m at most. Adult exercise gear needs to be by the small kids area so you can be close to and watch small people while exercising. Some gear getting near replacement time, it's pretty well used."
"Very good place for kids to play with slides, swings and climbing up the dummy rocket. Have public toilet facilities, sitting chairs and green grass play field nearby. But few of the playing instruments could be replaced by newer one."
"Needs updating but the kids don't notice or care they love the place. Few trees for shade during the summer and picnicking. Toilets on the grounds and shops across the road. We go the the park after the Mt Albert Pool's which is a five min walk"
"The baby play area equipment here is a tad old, but it is none the less an excellent playground for big and small kids. The baby playground area is completely covered in soft mats, not too high or big, and adults can walk right into the small castle with their kids which is excellent for my 2 year old. All the other structures are built in seperate areas, with swings and jungle gyms and the famous rocket all spread out evenly, leaving plenty of space for kids to run around. There is free parking just outside the playground, it is also the entirely fenced so you don’t have to worry about kids running onto the road outside. There are also exercise equipments outside the park as well, but i think those are for adults as opposed to kids."
