About Mokoia Pa Park

Mokoia Pa Park is a park at 16 Bridge St, Panmure, Auckland City, holding a 5.0 rating from visitors.

A park built around a former pā site carries real cultural and historical significance, so it's worth taking the visit a bit more slowly than an ordinary walk in the park, reading any interpretive panels along the way to understand what the site actually represents. Treating these places with the same respect as any other heritage site matters, since they mark real history rather than just being scenic high ground. Elevated pā sites often also happen to offer good views simply because they were chosen for defensive visibility centuries ago, so it's worth looking out over the surroundings once at the top.

For those in Panmure, Mokoia Pa Park is well worth a visit for both the history and the outlook.
