A great few hours or full day can be spent at Cornwall Park - Auckland biggest Park and includes One Tree Hill (182m /597 ft), The park is 670 acres (270 hectares) in size. NOTE: One Tree Hill used to have one tree on it but that was felled and had to removed in October 2000 - Check the link One Tree Hill
The park is beautiful filled with trees, huge grassed areas, a café, and walks.
On the summit of the hill is an obelisk, a memorial to Māori. Before the obelisk stands a bronze statue of a Māori warrior. The stone obelisk was designed by Richard Atkinson Abbot and completed in 1940, but the unveiling of the obelisk was delayed until after World War II on 24 April 1948. This was in keeping with Māori custom of not holding such ceremonies during a time of bloodshed.
Beneath it is the grave of Sir John Logan Campbell who bequeathed £5,000 for the obelisk. His grave is a plain granite slab, ornamented only by a bronze wreath. It lies in the middle of the viewing platform, on axis with the main memorial plaques on the Obelisk base and the bronze Warrior Statue
Activities are shown - There is an archery club which uses a part of the park.
