Woodlands Park

Woodlands Park is a small quiet suburb on the outskirts of Waitakere City, within the Auckland urban area, New Zealand. Nestled in the Waitakere Ranges, Woodlands Park lies in a valley, bush clad hills separating it from Titirangi (to the north east), Parau and Huia (to the south east) and Laingholm (to the south).

Most housing was built in the 1950s to 1970s, and lies within native bush. Although largely composed of workers commuting to Auckland, and socially linked to Titirangi, Woodlands Park is a small reasonably active community. There is a primary school, which forms the communal heart, a dairy, and a mechanics, home of the Commercial bus company.

Woodlands Park is part of the Waima census area.
