It’s a perfect spot to relax, enjoy some fresh air and a bit of nature. The views are beautiful, and the garden is thoughtfully designed, filled with colorful flowers that add to the serene atmosphere. There’s plenty of parking space.
This is a beautiful spot in Auckland to admire the beautiful memorial and take some photos. The garden looks incredible at any hour of the day and walking around it feels phenomenal. The flowers are very pretty and the design is elegant and perfect :]
Some of Auckland's best views, from the port around to Brown's Island. Beautifully laid out gardens, unfortunately the time of year means the gardens aren't full of plantings, but the roses still look great. Not a big walk from the carpark, definitely worth spending an hour or two enjoying serenity in the middle of the city
A beautiful park in a location with a great view. I happened to pass by it while driving along the coast. A very well-maintained park, beautiful flowers, and ocean views. I was able to feel refreshed.
This was once the site of two massive pa systems fortified villages, Kohimaramara and Tokapurewha. These pa were the first to be overrun during the conquest of Tamaki by the Ngãti Whãtua sub-tribes of Kaipara at around 1745.nIn 1859, the government acquired 9 acres at Takaparawhau for military purposes under the Public Works Act. In 1886, a further 13 acres were taken to build Fort Bastion during the 'Russian Scare of the 1880s.nGun emplacements here once guarded the entrance to the Waitemata Harbour, as did other fortifications on Takuranga / Mt Victoria and Maungauika / North Head at Devonport on the North Shore.nBastion Point is named after Bastion Rock / Tokapurewha the rock of the black mussel, a distinctive fort-like outcrop which stood offshore here until the 1920s, when it was demolished during the formation of Tämaki Drive.nThis is now the site of the memorial to Michael Joseph Savage 1872 - 1940, this country's first Labour prime minister, remembered by a tall obelisk, sunken pool and garden. Very beautiful place. Good for tourists. Bring your own water and food. Public toilets there. Good for family picnics.
