Walking, biking, and sightseeing tours of Auckland often stop at Silo Park en route to explore the surrounding Wynyard Quarter. The park is named after its six silos, one of which—Silo 6—now serves as an art exhibition space, while the repurposed pipes have been transformed into an interactive playground, the Silo Park Playline. At the park's western end, you can also stroll down to the waterfront and see the superyacht marina.
Art lovers will want to swing by Silo Park—an essential stop along the Wynyard Quarter Art Trail.
Events at Silo Park are free of charge, and the park can fill up fast, so get there early to snag a good spot.
The park has public toilets, a shaded seating area, and a bike parking area.
Silo Park is located in the Wynyard Quarter of Auckland on the corner of Jellicoe and Beaumont Streets. You can reach the park on foot from Viaduct Harbor (about a 10-minute walk) or Victoria Park (about a 5-minute walk). Alternatively, there’s a paid parking lot opposite the park.
Head to Silo Park on a summer weekend to make the most of the park’s packed event schedule. Seasonal events vary, but frequent favorites include a night market and open-air movie screenings on Friday nights and live music concerts on Sunday afternoons.
West of Viaduct Harbour, the Wynyard Quarter is Auckland’s most recently developed waterfront precinct with views across Waitemata Harbour. From Silo Park, head to Auckland Fish Market to feast on fresh fish and seafood, admire the street art installations along Tiramarama Way and then ride on the historic Auckland Dockline Tram. The district is also known for its buzzing nightlife with numerous restaurants and bars along the North Wharf and Jellicoe Street.
