Cornwall Park Wooden/coal BBQ Area — Local services in Maungakiekie-Tāmaki

Cornwall Park, located in Epsom near central Auckland, is a 425-acre (172-hectare) urban oasis that seamlessly blends history, nature, and recreation. Established in 1901, the park was gifted to the people of Auckland by Sir John Logan Campbell, who presented the deeds to the visiting Duke of Cornwall and York, later King George V, in honor of his visit. 

The park encompasses Maungakiekie, also known as One Tree Hill, a volcanic cone of significant cultural importance. Visitors can explore remnants of a pre-European Māori fort (pā) on the hill, offering insights into the area’s rich heritage. 

Cornwall Park features wide-open spaces, tree-lined avenues, and walking paths, making it a popular destination for picnicking, jogging, and leisurely strolls. The park is also a working farm, with sheep and cattle grazing, providing an educational experience for visitors, especially children. 

For those interested in sports, the park offers facilities including tennis courts, cricket grounds, and lawn bowls. Additionally, the park hosts various events and activities throughout the year, enhancing its role as a community hub.
