Te Pane o Mataoho / Te Ara Pueru is one of Auckland's many volcanic cones. The volcano erupted about 18,000 years ago.
The land is owned by the Crown and is administered through the Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau Authority.
Access the maunga from Domain Road. The summit gates are open from 7am to 8.30pm in summer, and 7am to 7pm in winter.
Enjoy the whānau ātea space with a playground featuring māra hupara (traditional Māori) play spaces for all ages. We also have a kī-o-rahi field, basketball court and a bookable hāngī pit. Visit the Tūpuna Maunga Authority website to find out more about the hāngī pit.
Read more about the history and name of this maunga (mountain) on the Tūpuna Maunga Authority website.
