| Registered By: | VanWijngaarden, R. |
| Registration Category: | Historic tree/s – Local interest |
| General Notes: |
Monte Cecilia Park in Hillsborough features outstanding established grounds with notable trees, architecture and cultural history, and the historic Pah Homestead, now home to the TSB Bank Wallace Arts Centre.
A series of land purchases in recent years have seen the park grow to over 15 ha. It is envisaged that in coming years it will become a park of regional significance, similar in stature and maturity to Albert Park, Cornwall Park and the Auckland Domain. This park contains many fine exotic specimens and is a true 'undiscovered gem' in Auckland. More information and a full history of the park can be found here on the Auckland Council website. The largest of several Ficus macrophylla trees can be viewed on record AR/0783. |
