| Pukekura Park | A tranquil paradise in an urban noise… Covering 49 hectares, lakeside forest and formal gardens, Pukekura Park makes up one of Taranakis’ favorite recreational venues. Authentic clinker dories for hire on the boat lake – one as old as eighty years – have safely and sedately ferried passengers around Pukekura’s water courses for many decades.
The park contains stunning fernery and display houses and weekends in the park are traditionally family days. Pukekura Park is a park for all people with wonderful picnic areas, a teahouse, Bowl of Brooklands and the Brooklands Zoo all within walking distance of the park.
Pukekura Sports ground, has for many years and continues to draw crowds to its terraces for competitive one day cricket matches and the regular provincial games. Pukekura Park is also home to the nationally famous "Festival of the Lights". From mid December to the beginning of February special lighting erected in a section of Pukekura Park is displayed during the night hours for your entertainment – a great family outing. Wonderful opportunities are available for the photographer.
