Albert Park Volcano, Extinct volcanic cone in central Auckland, New Zealand.
The Albert Park Volcano features remnants of scoria and basalt rock formations that protrude through the ground near Bowen Avenue steps.
Ferdinand von Hochstetter identified the volcanic nature of Albert Park during his visit to Auckland in 1859, documenting its geological characteristics.
The location held importance for Tamaki Maori people as Rangipuke, which included a kainga settlement before European colonization began.
Construction projects in the park require specialized drilling equipment due to the thick layers of volcanic basalt beneath the surface.
The volcano's eruption 145,000 years ago created a lava flow that formed a swamp where Queen Street Valley meets the Waitematā Harbour.
