Cornwall Park

Nestled in the heart of Epsom, Cornwall Park is a verdant haven that offers a tranquil escape from the bustling city life. Spanning over 425 acres, this picturesque park is a testament to the vision of Sir John Logan Campbell, who gifted the land to the people of Auckland in 1901. 

As soon as you step inside, you'll be greeted by the impressive One Tree Hill, a volcanic cone that offers stunning views of the city and harbour. And the rest of the park is just as impressive, with lush lawns, flower gardens, native trees, and woodlands that are perfect for leisurely strolls, picnics, and outdoor sports.

If you're a nature enthusiast, Cornwall Park is home to many bird species like tūī, kererū, and fantails. You'll also see grazing sheep and cattle, adding to the natural beauty of the place. The park is committed to sustainability and conservation, making it an excellent place to learn about biodiversity.

There are plenty of recreational facilities too, such as tennis courts, a children's playground, and a barbecue area. Throughout the year, Cornwall Park hosts exciting events like art exhibitions, outdoor concerts, and guided walks, so there's always something new to discover.

And if you're feeling peckish, there are some lovely eateries in the park, including a cool bistro and a charming cafe where you can grab a bite to eat. For the adventurous ones, you can even try your hand at archery! And while you’re here, don't miss out on the fascinating Stardome Observatory & Planetarium experience.
