In the heart of Greenlane is One Tree Hill also known as Cornwall Park. It’s a 10 walk from Te Kawa to the park entry, 20 mins to the cafe, or a 5 min drive with plenty of onsite parking. Cornwall Park is an urban oasis, rich with history, nature, farm-life and places to explore… and you might even see the newborn lambs in spring. The park offers a picturesque open space for a leisurely stroll or a hike to the top of the mountain - we love finding the off road tracks to the top. At the top you’ll enjoy a 360 view of Auckland. Cornwall Park boasts two on-site cafes with great food, coffee and surrounds; The Bistro and Cafe. The Bistro also offers a lovely high tea.
