The Park
Linton Park West is a large neighbourhood reserve — at 47.7 acres, it offers considerably more open space than a typical suburban park. The park has walking and running tracks through the open grounds, a playground for families, and bowls facilities. The Linton Park Community Centre is in the broader Linton Park area, and the reserve is a focal point for the surrounding community.
Linton Park West is also the subject of a native planting restoration project run in partnership with Forest & Bird, working to increase the ecological value of the reserve through revegetation with native species. As the plantings mature, the park will develop increasing habitat value for birds and insects.
