Coyle Park

Coyle Park is one of 800 parks and reserves in Auckland and is situated at Point Chevalier - a peninsula and a western
suburb of Auckland.  During the interwar period, this was a popular destinations for families who were transported
to the park on trams.  After the 2nd world war, increased car ownership and the construction of the Auckland Harbour

Bridge, this once crowed beach, became deserted.  Coyle Park covers nearly 5 hectares with fantastic harbour views.
