Auckland Domain, Park and cricket field in Auckland Central, New Zealand

The 75-hectare Auckland Domain contains sports fields, the Auckland War Memorial Museum, and two large glasshouses called the Domain Wintergardens.

Governor George Grey designated this volcanic crater site as a public space in 1845, marking the beginning of Auckland's first park.

The land, known as Pukekawa to Māori people, includes a sacred tōtara tree on Pukekaroa Hill and served as a settlement for Tāmaki Māori.

The Terry Jarvis Centre provides facilities for cricket activities, with regular matches and training sessions organized by the Parnell Cricket Club.

The park grounds occupy an explosion crater and surrounding tuff ring of the Pukekawa volcano, creating a natural amphitheater setting.
