 Quinton Park Quinton Park is at the end of the Bayswater Peninsula, on King Edward Avenue. It was donated by Mrs Marianne Caughey Smith in 1929. It was named after Quinton Castle, at her birthplace in Portaferry, Ireland. It is quite a small park, looking out over the harbour bridge. It has a stretch of grass going to the cliffs which drop down to the sea, so has wide views over the harbour, and for that reason, it has been described as a jewel. It also has a courtyard for playing petanque (the French game of bowls). Craigavon Park Craigavon Park is at Green bay. It was donated by Mrs Marianne Caughey Smith in 1929. (Again!) It is named after Lord Craigavon, prime minister of Ireland, to commemorate his visit to New Zealand. It is really big, with lots of bush for exploring. If you go deeper into the park, there are exercise spots, where they have some logs and bars, and signposts telling you what to do. It’s a great park for jogging, cycling, or just exploring!
