About Monte Cecilia Park
This park offers an authentic experience of a typical old English countryside estate.
Centre stage is the grand Pa Homestead and a spectacular collection of large and rare exotic trees. A wide promenade loops around the park.
Once the home of Māori and a fortified pa, the grassed hills are now ideal for dog walking with spectacular views of Manukau Harbour, One Tree Hill, and the Waitakere Ranges.
The Pa Homestead is a popular art gallery and café.
