Puketāpapa, also known as Mount Roskill Summit, is a 110-metre volcanic cone on Dominion Road in Mount Roskill, Auckland. Visitors reach the top on foot or by bike, and customers describe 360-degree panoramic views over the city. There are benches at the summit where people can rest. Sunsets come up often in what people say, and kite flying is mentioned too, including a kite festival. Customers call it a quiet, peaceful place for a short break from the city.
Long grass covers much of the summit. One customer said it is good for lying down, but warned that it can be a problem for hay fever. Another said the views are excellent, even though the cone is a little shorter than Mount Eden. It has verified track details, cultural history and access information for the reserve. Our pick in Mount Roskill for a sunset walk to the top.
