If you are in central Auckland and would like to see a bit of greenery or relax with a picnic this is the perfect spot. It is literally a few minutes walk from Queen Street.
It is generally quite a busy park due to it's central location and a favourite spot for local business people and students to enjoy their lunch. It is especially popular for students as Auckland University and AUT are literally next door. Therefore in summertime you will find many students studying or hanging out here.
It is not a large park, but has a central gazebo, fountain, several paths running through and garden and grass areas. There is also a public toilet.
It is also the location of many festivals. I have been to a Chinese New Year festival a couple of years ago that was fantastic. There were many stalls selling trinkets and food. There also several areas where performances were on and information areas to learn more about the Chinese New Year.
Local radio stations also regularly hold events here in summer time.
I would avoid walking through this area at night time through, as with any park.

Advantages: Great view on roof, cheap Disadvantages: no free lockers and not that friendly
AlbertPark Backpackers in Auckland is a very cheap place to stay, the location is great but it was not the friendliest hostel I have stayed in.
I flew in from LA which is a 12 hour flight and was pretty tired as I am sure you can imagine, I pleased that the directions I had from the hostel where easy to follow, I just had to jump on a shuttle bus, this was easy to find and cost $15.
