Myers Park

Myers Park is an urban park in central Auckland with grassed slopes and a substantial canopy of mature trees from both native and exotic species. The space spans between Queen Street, Karangahape Road, Grey's Avenue, and Aotea Square, connected through pathways and stairs that form a unified green area.

Arthur Myers donated the land in 1915 to create a children's park, transforming a former working-class residential area into a public recreational space. This conversion established the site's lasting role in the community.

The park hosts Myers Kindergarten, a historic building with a circular layout that links multiple classrooms around a central space. This design lets children move freely between areas and participate in shared activities.

The park is easily reached from Queen Street, Karangahape Road, Grey's Avenue, and Aotea Square with multiple entry points linked by stairs and pathways. The grassed areas and tree-lined sections are open at all times, letting visitors move at their own pace.

The grounds feature thirteen oversized flower sculptures and colorful caterpillar figures that spark imaginative play for children. These playful elements define the park's character and create spaces where creativity and exploration thrive.
