Penrose is an industrial area, but you have fantastic transport connections to nearby shopping and some of the best green spaces in Auckland. Here are some of our favourite experiences in and around Penrose:
Address: Green Lane West, Epsom, Auckland 1051
Head to see one of Auckland's most iconic destinations, a 182m volcanic peak (also known as Maungakiekie) which holds the grave of Sir John Logan Campbell, an Auckland leader in the 1800's who gifted the land for Cornwall Park. The mountain was the site of Maori fortifications, and evidence of the Pa remains today. The summit of One Tree Hill has spectacular views over the whole city isthmus.
Address: 98 Abbotts Way, Meadowbank, Auckland 1050
Here you'll find wide open spaces, pockets of bush, native planting with walkways that surround New Zealand's largest urban wetland restoration project. The 49 acres of wetland operates as a stormwater treatment system for the surrounding suburbs, but despite its unappealing use, this wetland serves as a sanctuary for the birdlife and wetland plants creating a beautiful setting to enjoy.
Address: 106A Ireland Road, Mount Wellington, Auckland 1060
Address: 286 Mount Wellington Highway, Mount Wellington, Auckland 1060
