A small oasis in the city. Has a drinking fountain, some seats and trees for shade

Run up, if you dare

New Zealand's Parliament met in Auckland, which was then the capital city, from its first sitting in 1854 until its permanent move to Wellington in 1865 (apart from one session in 1862). The members of the inaugural Parliament complained about the basic facilities of the building on Constitution Hill, close to the present-day University of Auckland. It was little more than a bare shell and became known as the 'Shedifice'. The wind whistled through the walls, and the roof leaked. There was no clock, division bell or strongroom to protect documents. Initially there was nowhere to get food or drink, and not even a toilet. Parliamentarians' working environment would be far more comfortable following the shift to Wellington. This view of Parliament Buildings (far left) and St Paul's, above Mechanics Bay, is from Parnell Rise. Andrew Robertson, Auckland from Parnell, 1859.

Beware the Grom Stomper. Good times.

Good

Nice

My friends place is at the hill.. Very awesome view

Love it. I walk up it every day.

A fun time for the whole family

Good place to carch your breath when walking in the hot summer sun The chairs under the trees let you sit in the shade where you get to enjoy a cool breeze dancing through the flora. A littke respite on the outskirts of the bustling city.
