The Park was opened and the memorial unveiled by His Worship the Mayor, Mr. J. H. Gunson, on 17th March, 1920. To gain access to this Park, take the same route as to Cornwallis Park.

The watershed in the vicinity of Nihotupu has been vested in the Council in connection with the water supply of the City.

This Park, which is situated just beyond the City's boundaries, does not belong to the Council, but is vested in a Domain Board. It is nevertheless one of Auckland's principal reserves.

The grounds have been maintained as a scenic park, there being only a few flower beds laid down. A portion of it has been kept for sports, and the Maungakiekie Golf Club has a number of greens within the Park area. Picnic parties find it a favourite resort.

Maungakiekie (One Tree Hill) is the highest point within this Domain, and from it magnificent views of the Hauraki Gulf, the Manakau Harbour, and the country surrounding Auckland can be had.
