Inner-city locals recently helped landscape this park and they're pretty much the only ones to know of its existence.

How to get there: Exmouth St off New North Rd or Newton Rd.

Three stone circles, one with a water feature, appear in a grassy bowl with young palms and pohutukawa peppering its slopes. Now these are perfect for rolling down. When trees become established the place will be transformed.

A grassy area is ideal for the flat's cricket or rugby Test.

Gossip: we're told the park is the lunchtime tryst venue of famous faces and their lovers.
