Like all of Auckland’s ‘mountains’, this is just really just a hill with aspirations. You won’t find snow on top but you will get some pretty sweet views of Auckland (and, depending on the weather and the time of day, some pretty amazing skies).
The roads and houses go quite a way up the hill, so if you drive up to the gate of the park there’s actually not too much of a walk to the summit. If you need the exercise you could even run it, although I find a lazy dawdle up to the top much more my style.
The summit is of course the highlight (I’ll thank you not to make puns about how it’s the ‘high’ light), but that’s not to say the rest of it isn’t pleasant. There’s an archery field, for those who like archery, and at least one bench under some eucalypts that is an ideal spot to sit quietly and watch birds (we got some nice pictures of an unconcerned tui last time we were here). Does this review make me sound old? I don’t care.

One night out on my bike I ended up at Mt Albert. I decided to bike up it, and while it was a steep climb I made it up!
There was a quite a bit besides just the summit — I spotted a soccer field and even people doing Archery (not quite like The Hunger Games).
There road is tarsealed all the way to the top.
I think this is a good green space for the local community. It provides a good workout (that you could do in a reasonably short amount of time) and is perfect for getting out in the fresh air and looking out over Auckland city.

Back in my school days, Mt Albert was like the evil twin of our beloved Mount, and no one self respecting would ever go there. Or at least thats how I thought of it, no doubt most people I went to school with played sports there every weekend.
This mountain is actually pretty damn sweet. They have an archery range, a soccer field, and a trigonometry point. Well I presume thats what those triangular structures are used for. We went up here and watched the fireworks last guy fawkes day — it was a little bit disappointing to be honest but that may have been because it was 2 am.
A good idea is to go to burger queen, get a feed and bring it up here and eat it up the top. If that isn’t a date, then show me a calendar.

One of Auckland’s less popular summits. The local council have put in next to no effort into attracting people here. The road leading up is cracked and bumpy, and the summit itself has had no real landscaping work done to it, it is shame really, it could be great with a little work. Its unpopularity used to work in our favor though, we used to come up here to go mountain boarding. If you don’t know, mountain boarding is essentially skate boarding down grassy hills, specialized boards created with large off road wheels, super fun. We tried doing it at Mt Eden but were told by a local officer that it was not appropriate, but we have never had any problems at Mt Albert.

I lived in Mount Albert for three years and the actual mountain ‘Mt Albert’ saved me so many times when I needed some time out from my busy life. It’s the perfect place to soak in the beautiful scenery and get some fresh air.
I’d go from runs around the mountain or else just sit on the park bench and look out over the city. Every Saturday morning the mountain comes alive with people taking their dogs for a walk, throwing a ball around and also shooting in the archery field.
We sometimes would take fish and chips up to the lookout and have dinner up there. The park does close so if you take your car up make sure you’re out before they shut the gate.
Mt Albert is an awesome asset for Auckland and it’s great to see people use it so often.
