Story

Az Auckland Domain a legnagyobb új-zélandi város legrégebbi, a 19. század derekán kialakított és egyik legnagyobb, 75 hektáros parkja. Auckland városközpontjának közelében, a Grafton városrészben terül el, az Aucklandi vulkáni mező részét alkotó régi, kialudt, alacsony tűzhányó, a Pukekawa kráterében, illetve az azt körülvevő tufagyűrűn.A park természeti értékein kívül sok más turistavonzó látványosságot is magába foglal. A tufagyűrű és a park legmagasabb pontján épült az Auckland War Memorial Museum. Az egykori kráter fenekén számos sportpályát alakítottak ki. A központi, vulkáni salakból (scoria) képződött kúp északi (azaz itt, a déli féltekén napos) oldalán két nagy üvegházat (Wintergarden) emeltek. Egy régi kőfejtőben páfrányligetet (fernery) alakítottak ki. A krátert körülvevő tufagyűrűnek a múzeummal szemközti oldalán krikettpavilon található, és itt épült fel a városi kórház, az Auckland City Hospital. A kráter északi szektorában kacsaúsztató tavak vannak, fölös vizüket a tufagyűrű áttörésében kis patak vezeti el.TörténeteA Pukekawa vulkáni kúpját a maorik az aucklandi földszoros egyik legjobb területének tartották erődített település, úgynevezett pa építése céljára. Napos északi lejtői kedvezőek voltak kumara termesztésére, míg a domb tetején jól védhető raktárakat és erődöt építettek. A kráter mélyedésében kialakult mocsár édesvizet és angolnát biztosított a maorik számára.

A beautiful quick and short getaway from the city to refresh yourself with just having a look at those huge age-old trees, ducks in the ponds, lots of different flowers in the winter gardens.
Wonderful delights inside the glass house at the Botanical gardens. Pitcher plants really weird & interesting. Bold colour everywhere!
Wonderful place to take the whole family. There is a cafe nearby too and the gardens around are good for a picnic. Remember to leave a donation so that the great work is supported.
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.
Fantastic architecture, lots of great exhibits, and even has a lot to offer for little kids too.
Lovely place for family at weekend. It would be great if can provide more car park.
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.
Still construction happening. Nice array of plants though. Cool to see fruiting cacao.
