Lynn Reserve

Lynn Reserve. A hidden gem nestled in the heart of Bayview. It’s more than just green grass and blue skies. It’s a place where whispers of history intertwine with the laughter of children playing. Lynn Reserve boasts a playground, a bike trail, and even an outdoor basketball court. Perfect for families, picnics, or simply a place to let loose and run around. Imagine the joy on the faces of children as they swing, jump on the in-ground trampoline, and navigate the red stepping stones. Picture the thrill of young cyclists learning to ride on the dedicated track, shaded by giant red canopies during the summer months. But Lynn Reserve is not just for children. At the top of the playground, an adventure awaits those who dare to venture into the lush bush reserve. A path winds its way through Lynn Reserve, leading into the neighboring Leigh Reserve. Here, ancient kauri trees stand tall, silent witnesses to centuries of change. These majestic giants, some over 2 meters in diameter and estimated to be 800 years old, create a sense of awe and wonder. But tread carefully. Part of the upper section of Leigh Reserve is closed to protect these precious kauri from the devastating kauri dieback disease. While you can’t explore every corner of the reserve, paths still lead to the upper reaches of Lynn Road and Bryers Place. This allows you to experience the tranquility of the bush and appreciate the efforts to preserve these natural wonders. Lynn Reserve offers something for everyone. Whether you seek a playground for children, the thrill of a bush walk, or the peaceful shade of ancient kauri trees, Lynn Reserve welcomes you. It’s a place where nature and recreation intertwine, creating a unique and unforgettable experience.
