Pukekura Park, Botanical garden in New Plymouth, New Zealand
Pukekura Park extends across 52 hectares of landscaped gardens, featuring native plants, lakes, walking paths, and formal flower displays in the center of New Plymouth.
The park opened in 1876 under the supervision of W. H. M. Browne, marking the beginning of its development into one of New Zealand's most significant botanical collections.
The TSB Bowl of Brooklands within the park functions as a natural amphitheater, hosting WOMAD festival and international performances throughout the year.
Visitors can explore the fernery with its year-round display of native species, walk through multiple garden sections, or enjoy refreshments at the Teahouse.
