I have no idea why the website won't accept the Waitakere Ranges but this is where I mean!!!! (I don't know what the Auckland Centennial Park is LOL) Total contrast to city- beautiful native bush. Check out the various parts of the Hilary Trail. There is a visitor centre where you can get info.

Also Bethells and Muriwai Beaches. These beaches have black sand and wild surf- these are dangerous beaches so stay between flags- tourists are always drowning!
