Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Hey, we just had the coolest family day out at Cornwall Park! The kids went nuts for the children's playground, while we parents couldn't get enough of the views. It's like, one minute you're watching sheep grazing peacefully, and the next you're staring at this crazy volcanic landscape. Talk about a trip through time! We packed a picnic and made a whole day of it. Seriously, if you're in Auckland with the fam, you've gotta check this place out. It's a total win for everyone!

We arrived at the park by chance and it was the best. The park is super spacious, very clean or green. If or if you must make the journey to One tree hill but not through the streets, look for the trails between the slopes that are a dream. Looks like you're in a movie.
A great view of the city!

We had a day of rain and fog. really ugly day. but anyway we left the car and walked to the obelisk. very good option for a walk, picnic. very well landscaped. To be in the middle of a city it's like a nice place to stop and rest. very good views although not on the day we went.

Although great in any season, Spring is a particularly perfect time to visit Cornwall Park, especially if you catch the cherry trees in full bloom. The wisteria arch provides a stunning lilac display as well as a gorgeous fragrance. They trees are magnificent and provide ample shade for a picnic. It is a serene and tranquil area for a walk, short or long, flat or steep! It's fun to see the lambs, sheep and cows in the fields, and spot the birdlife. The views across Auckland city are panoramic. There's a cafe and a bistro at which to quench your thirst or appetite. Public toilets are available as well as a barbecue area. The Huia Lodge Discovery Hub contains interesting and informative displays about the area and its history. There are many different parking areas but they do fill up. A wonderful natural area within the city.

I often like to start here with tai chi at 10 am. And then I start wandering through the daffodil gardens around one tree hill to the summit and down the north face through the olive grove road and back past the creamery to the cafe park beside the mass of trees in flower. I do this once a week when I’m on vacation in a different country :)

Great place to relax, walk through the paddocks filled with sheep, cows, lambs and calves. Plenty of places to picnic, jog or just sit and read a book. There’s a cafe and ice cream shop if you get hungry and so many different types of native and imported trees and flowers to admire

Lovely walk or play with the kids and dog. There are two cafes to eat at one casual one bistro. You wouldn’t know you were in the city, sit under a big old tree to read a book or just relax or have a picnic with your family.

This is such a great park just on the outskirts of the city. There is plenty of grassy areas to walk and run around in. There is also a kids playground by the observatory. You have to walk up to the summit but there is parking close to it.
There are also a lot of other things to see around the park such as the rotunda or the myriad of trees lining the paths. There is also a cafe if you were getting pecking or want an indoor rest. There isn't a way to drive from the main entrance on Greenlane West to the playground area so you'd have to get out of the park and get in the other entrance.
It is a nice place to spend a few hours or so just being outside.

Thanks Acineto for the fantastic review! The kids playground area is in fact part of One Tree Hill Domain, our friendly neighbouring park, run by Auckland Council.

This might not be an obvious tourist choice. Which is a shame. The park is beautiful abs beautifully maintained. The trees are magnificent. There are wonderful explanations of the Campbell bequest and the history of Auckland. As well as about the planting and the farms and ecology. Interesting both for adults and children.
From the park one can walk up One Tree Hill where there is a monument to Campbell and panoramic views all over the city and gulf.

One of the most popular parks in Auckland, New Zealand especially during Springtime (September to November. You can do almost any activity here like biking, running, bird watching, etc. or choose to learn about sheep from the working farm. It has ample parking space around this humongous park. There are picnic tables and BBQ area at this park.

Hi, I am staying in Auckland city centre tonight and was planning to visit Auckland Botanical Gardens this afternoon. Cornwall Park seems to be a good alternative, what with the opportunity to see sheep grazing as well as better accessibility from town centre. Appreciate your views, thanks in advance!

You can just walk along the lane and or drive within the park and can easily see the animals, as there is wire fences. It is like having the country in town. It is a beautiful big park
