Randwick Park is a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand.

The suburb is located east of Manurewa and is in the Manurewa-Papakura ward, one of the thirteen administrative divisions of Auckland Council.

The suburb had high unemployment and high crime rates in the early 2000s, but after a liquor store owner was killed in 2008,[3] a residents' association was formed to improve local sports and community facilities,[4] with support from the Manurewa Local Board and Auckland Council's Southern Initiative program.[5] It was named the Mitre10 Community of the Year in 2017.[6]
