One Tree Hill

If you have a friend or relative coming to Auckland for the first time, the best and the closest landmark or destination for them to visit, is One Tree Hill.  With a scenic 360 degree view of

Glen Innes  and Panmure that will take your breath away. At certain times of the year, there can be cold winds but this just adds to its memorability.

Firstly the location is close to the many suburbs, meaning you can just drive to the top and take photos and have a cool walk around the base of the point. The area itself is known as Cornwall Park.   In green fields beneath the mountain itself are an invitation for families to enjoy a picnic or a barbeque if the weather is acceptable.  There are many animals including sheep, cows and  you have keen eyesight and patience, you may even spot a  rabbit or two.

Secondly Cornwall Park offers other forms of recreation, including fields to run and play, playgrounds for little kids and a speedy flying fox that invites children to have a go.  It really gets the adrenalin going!  While these things are free there are also other recreational activities that take place at Cornwall Park.  These things include Archery, Tramping and Orienteering.

If you are a visitor to Auckland, make your way to Cornwall Park and climb, walk or drive to the top of One Tree Hill.
