It is debatable whether Myers Park, Auckland is a genuine internal reserve as it does feature (as seen in the above map) portions of street access space to the north and east; however, visitors would find that the kindergarten effectively blocks the eastern street-access park area from the rest of the park, and it tapers considerably at the northern end. In the main, it is a large, interior, urban (as opposed to suburban) space with high rise buildings around much of the perimeter. It has also clearly been a very popular space from its creation in the early 20th century. The following image is c. 1918 and further details are here.
At the northern end, steps to an arcade leading to K Road.
It seems Myers Park was also the place to stage a protest in the late 1960s. See this listing, sadly only available in hard copy in Auckland.
