Albert Park
- Address: Bounded by Wellesley St. W, Kitchener St., Waterloo Quad, City Center, Auckland
- Category: Parks
- Location: City Center
Fodor's Review:
These 15 acres of formal gardens, fountains, and statue-studded lawns are a favorite for Aucklanders who pour out of nearby office buildings and the university and polytechnic to eat lunch on sunny days. The park is built on the site of a garrison from the 1840s and 1850s that was used to protect settlers from neighboring Maori tribes. There are still remnants of its stone walls (with rifle slits) behind university buildings on the east side of the park.
