Napier Hill, Limestone outcrop in Napier, New Zealand

The elevated landform rises above Napier's lowland districts, featuring steep cliffs that overlook the Port of Napier on its northeastern section.

Before the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake, this formation existed as Scinde Island, named after the Sindh province of India, surrounded by water.

The area includes three educational institutions: Napier Central School, Napier Girls' High School, and Sacred Heart College, serving different student populations.

The western section, Hospital Hill, contains a new water reservoir constructed on the former site of Napier Hospital, which operated until 1999.

The Napier Botanical Gardens, established in the 1860s, represented the first public park space in the entire city of Napier.
