| Tree Type: | Single |
| Registered By: | Cadwallader, B.G. |
| Registration Category: | Notable tree – National interest |
| General Notes: |
This was the residence of Auckland's first Registrar of the Supreme Court, Thomas Outhwaite. From the 1840s onwards Outhwaite and his French wife Louise established a beautiful garden with many interesting specimen plants. In 1927 the last of their four children gave this land to the city as a park. The house does not survive but the basic layout of the grounds and many of the mature trees date from the Outhwaite family's time. The park gives an expansive view of Mt Eden to the south[1].
