My favourite place in Auckland. If you're feeling the city hemming you in, go to Cornwall park for a breather. Cycling through is the best (especially early Spring when the daffidols bloom), or relaxing under a tree in summer with a picnic - spacious and wonderful!! More

We are so lucky to have this beautiful park close to where we live. I often bike with my family around the park in the weekend. In summer they have live music, you can take a picnic and bbq facilities are provided, or you can stop for an ice cream or coffee at the restaurant. We have taken many overseas... More

Make sure you also drive to the top where there is a monument and expansive views over Auckland. There is also an old house halfway up, which was the house of the original owner of the land before he gifted it to the city of Auckland. His house is now an attraction with information and displays inside. It is located... More

Auckland's version of Hampstead Heath in a way - aka One Tree Hill (so called because it had a lone pine tree on the summit for many years), Cornwall Park is a haven ideal for a walk around or a picnic. The tearooms are also a nice venue for a lazy lunch although you should try and book first lest... More

There's lots of space at Cornwall Park for summer picnics. There are barbecue spots and mature trees to wander through. I also really liked the historic cottage of one of Auckland's first settlers which is open to the public here - really interesting story. More
