Mutukaroa / Hamlins Hill Regional Park, Regional park in Penrose, Auckland, New Zealand.
The 65-meter-high Mutukaroa Regional Park consists of two farms and contains the largest non-volcanic hill on the Auckland isthmus, formed from Waitemata sandstone.
James Hamlin, a reverend who received land through a Crown grant in the 1840s, established the initial European settlement that gave the park its English name.
The hill served as one of the largest kāinga settlements on the Tāmaki isthmus, featuring extensive kūmara gardens maintained by Māori communities.
The park provides walking trails, mountain biking paths, dog exercise areas, and bookable picnic spots, all managed by the Auckland Council without entrance fees.
The park narrowly escaped demolition in the 1960s when plans to reclaim land from Manukau Harbour were halted due to public opposition.
