Albert Park

A nice park in the central city on the site of an old militarry barracks established in the 1880s (part of the wall is still visible in the university) with beautiful trees, flowers and grassy areas.  It is adjacent to the stunning University of Auckland grounds so during summer there are plenty of students lying under the trees napping reading or cuddling.  There is a Victorian fountain, a band rotunda, massive trees with amazing roots and trunks, statues of various figures important to New Zealand, war memorial and old artillery guns.
