Parks and walkways
A pleasant off-road path following the Oratia Stream, and one of West Auckland's best community parks — both within easy walking distance of the station.
A pleasant walking and cycling path that follows the Oratia Stream through the Sunnyvale neighbourhood — a quiet, green corridor through this residential area at the foot of the Waitākere Ranges. The path is approximately 5km in length and gives a relaxed, low-traffic route through the community. Best suited to walking and leisure cycling — some sections run alongside residential streets, while others follow the stream more closely through native plantings.

Also on site: a well-maintained cricket ground with two pitches, a skate ramp, basketball court and half court, park benches along walking paths and public toilets with drinking fountains. "Beautiful park for walking — great playground for kids of all ages." A vegetable store, dairy and two bakeries are located across West Coast Road, at the southern end of the park.
