Cornwall Park

Cornwall Park is a landscaped park designed for the recreation and enjoyment of all the people of New Zealand. It has a wide variety of mature trees. It is centered on a volcanic cone, One Tree Hill, with many interesting geological features. The park's donor, Sir John Logan Campbell, is buried on the summit of One Tree Hill alongside the obelisk.

Cornwall Park has tree plantings dating back over the past 150 years. The Farm at Cornwall Park is unusual in being located in the middle of a busy urban area. It consists of 81 hectares of flat to undulating grazing land belonging to Cornwall Park Trust Board and a further 44 hectares leased from Auckland City Council.

Acacia Cottage is Auckland's oldest surviving building. When John Logan Campbell first settled in Auckland, he and his partner John Brown built this cottage, moving into it in 1841. The cottage was moved to Cornwall Park in 1920 and has been restored and furnished as it may have been early in its life. The cottage is open to visitors 7.00 am to dusk in summer and 7.00 am to 4.00 pm in winter.

Opening Hours:
The park is open 7.00 am to dusk every day.
