Huge green space in the middle of the city..Lovely gardens, sheep and cow pastures along with a myriad of trails.
Terrific views from the volcano crater. Beautiful tree lined roads, sheep area, archery yard. A nice park and great views of the city. Don't go up to the space needle for the views, go to the various volcanoes in the area.
We loved Cornwall park, beautiful area with so many specimen trees, so peaceful and great to have a walk around. Visit one tree hill when you are in Cornwall park.
One of my favorite places in Auckland. Scenery is fantastic, you can have a BBQ anytime of the week, do your morning running routine (it's aprox 3kms one circle) or find your own tree to sit under and read a book. Lots of car parks, but be aware that they close main gates quite early in the evening.
I regularly visit the park after work, with all the other runners, for some after work down time. There is parking at the top if you're short on time and really just want to see the views of the city, ocean and Rangitoto, from the top. The whole park is worth a wander. There are gas BBQs at a couple of entrances and some rotundas to eat under. The Stardome Planetarium is also based inside the park, right beside a huge kids playground. Plenty to do after work and on the weekends.
We had friends over from America for the first time in New Zealand. We enjoyed Cornwall Park the views and the prettiness of grounds. Some of the shapes of the way the trees have grown were wonderous!
nice easy little walk. Lots of different bird species flying around the young kauri trees. Rosella, game fowl, tui, kereru, pawekweka. vary nice and quiet walk.
We live adjacent to Cornwall Park so we are biased. But our guests love waking to the noises of sheep or cows in the distance. It is THE place to walk one's dog or walk or run or cycle under the trees. You can have a BBQ's and picnics and listen to bands on the weekends
After having passed by Cornwall several times en route to the Northern motorway , I felt it would be a disservice not to savor a Day on the Green. Auckland is littered with wondrous parks laced throughout their residential suburbs and communities and you be glad to know, NO LITTER ! Their is a plural appreciation from Kiwis and their visiting counterparts toward the land, the parks, the beaches -everything. Pet friendly and clearly posted whether on leash or off leash options one can enjoy a tranquil, oxygenated experience here. You may not be in a hurry to leave.
All was great!! What a view from One Tree Hill!Nothing to dislike. Great park and great view all around Auckland.
