About Outhwaite Park
A lovely local open space surrounded by beautiful gardens.
A path leads up the middle of the park from the entrance on Carlton Gore Road to Outhwaite Hall, and connects to the playground on the right. You can also access the park via steps at the Park Road entrance.
Picnic tables, seating, bike stand, drinking fountain and barbecues are inside the park.
Auckland's first Supreme Registrar, Thomas Outhwaite and his French wife Louise, lived on this volcanic knoll from the 1840's and many of the mature trees date from this time. A great venue for family events, either passive or active.
