Story

Die Auckland Domain ist Auckland ältester öffentlicher Park und mit einer Fläche von 75 Hektar einer der größten der Stadt. Er liegt in der Vorstadt Grafton.VorgeschichteDas Gelände umfasst den Explosionskrater und den Tuffring des erloschenen Vulkans Domain (Pukekawa). Der Vulkan ist einer der ältesten des Auckland Volcanic Field und besteht heute aus einem großen, verschütteten Explosionskrater mit umgebenden Tuffring, in dessen Mitte sich ein kleiner Schlackenkegel, der Pukekaroro, befindet.GeschichteMāoriDer wurde von den Māori frühzeitig als einer der besten Siedlungsplätze auf dem Isthmus von Auckland erkannt. Die Nordseite des Vulkankegels war gut für den Anbau von Kūmara geeignet; der Hügel selbst wurde für Lagerzwecke und für eine befestigte Siedlung (Pā) genutzt. Der Sumpf im Krater lieferte Aale und Wasser.„Pukekawa“ bedeutet in der Sprache der Māori „Hügel der bitteren Erinnerungen“ und bezieht sich wahrscheinlich auf mehrere verlustreiche Stammeskriege zwischen den Ngāpuhi und den Ngati Whatua. Ein den Māori heiliger Totara-Baum erinnert an die Schlachten und die letztliche Beilegung der Zwistigkeiten. Er soll von Prinzessin Te Puea Herangi gepflanzt worden sein und steht noch heute auf dem zentralen Vulkankegel.

Still construction happening. Nice array of plants though. Cool to see fruiting cacao.
Fantastic architecture, lots of great exhibits, and even has a lot to offer for little kids too.
I like this place a lot for a variety of things, the fields, the flowers, the museum, the cafes, and the winter garden. I always see the guess when I'm there too.
Nice place for a family, photographer or anyone looking for fitness goals. You can have a long run. Also the first choice of people who loves the greenery.
Lovely place for family at weekend. It would be great if can provide more car park.
Such a beautiful park in the middle of the city. Lots to do with the Museum, Winter Garden building, and beautiful garden walks. Well worth a visit. Parking was free and reasonably plentiful.
Great place for a walk, picnic or wonder at the amazing artifacts on display at Auckland Museum. Also very easy to get to by car with plenty of parking. Free in most areas for 2 hours. A train station is also just a short walk away too.
Beautiful public part right in the middle of Auckland. They have multiple walking trails, well maintained gardens, lawns, play grounds and a museum. There are two old glass houses for tropical and temperate plants in the winter garden. There is a fernery as well.
