Quiet when gates were closed (9-7).
Toilets were also closed then, so I got to christen my van’s new fixed toilet 👍🏼

Felt really unconfortable at this spot.
There were quite a few people drinking and smoking outside. Loods music out of a car until at least 11pm. There came two different men to my van. Once in the evening and once in the morning. Both seemed to be really drunk. One man had an extreme alcohol smell. It's a pitty because it's a nice spot.

It's a parking next to a field in the Auckland suburbs so it's not expected to be amazing.
With that said, it feels safe and is quiet at night. There are 4 toilets, one of them can't lock so I'm pretty sure it stays open all night, they were pretty clean. There's a tap for drinkable water. Didn't try the ''referee'' shower, it was locked. Only 1 other van with us. Overall a safe bet for the area.

the toilets were opened all night long, and there was even showers in the changing room.
free water also in the stadium. Street lights were pretty strong tho and it can be a little bit annoying in the night.

Arrived around 10.30PM and found out the gates are still open.
There are only 2 vans parked on the available 4 freedom parking. The toilet is also open and clean. The place is quiet. Never knew that this play existed when I used to live in Auckland. Will definitely stay here again and recommended!

Nice quite spot in Auckland.
It’s a parking lot for 4 vehicles next to a sport field, toilets locked during the night. The parking lot isn’t even, but it’s not so bad.
You can’t really hear the highway, even it’s close.

They close the gate at 9pm and also toilets but when we arrived at 8pm the guy was already closing toilets'doors.
Very calm !
If you're lucky you can have a cold shower in the local where it's written "referree". I had one but when my boyfriend went, the door was locked.

A guard came to confirm with us if we wanted to stay all night before closing the gate.
Very calm and feel safe
Toilet was clean and you can go for a walk over the bridge.
Very clear when you can park

Parking en face d'un stade de foot avec toilettes (fermées la nuit de 21h à 7h) et robinet d'eau potable pour remplir les gourdes et bidons.
Les lampadaires restent allumés toute la nuit.
Il y a des maisons en face donc plutôt safe.

Carpark next to the park.
Plenty of toilets and a tap for drinking water. Good if you need somewhere to stay overnight in the city.

We arrived at 22.10 and the ramp was already closed.
There is a paper saying they close at 21h. They should write this in application - also, we are not in primary school to be home by 21h.

This is a car park to a busy soccer field.
The parking was nearly full when we arrived and very busy until 10pm with soccer players. The bathrooms and gate were supposed to close at 9 but were open all night. Facilities were clean and there is a water fountain with a downspout so we could (slowly) fill our water jug. Nice walking path around the park and overpass bridge. Felt safe as there was another group freedom camping.
