Te Puea Memorial Marae, Māori cultural center in Māngere Bridge, Auckland, New Zealand
Te Puea Memorial Marae stands as a community gathering space with traditional carved structures and meeting areas for local Māori communities around Onehunga and Māngere.
The marae opened in 1965 as Auckland's first urban marae, built on land gifted by Parehuingauru Barlow in 1947 for the benefit of all Māori communities.
The marae functions as a center for traditional ceremonies, including pōwhiri welcome rituals, tangihanga funeral services, and educational programs about Māori customs.
Visitors can participate in overnight stays at the marae's accommodation facilities while learning about proper cultural protocols and traditional practices.
The facility carries the name of Te Puea Hērangi, a notable Māori leader who advocated for establishing marae centers throughout New Zealand before her death in 1958.
