See & Do
a working farm in the heart of
new zealand’s biggest city.
When Cornwall Park first opened, it leased its land to farmers. The park began operating its own farm in the 1920s, bringing farm life directly into the park. Today there are around 600 sheep, 60 cows and two-full time farmers working the land, and the animals at least double during lambing/calving seasons from July to September. Sheep and cows are often in the eastern and southern areas of the park or in Olive Grove, though they are regularly moved throughout the paddocks. Stop by Huia Lodge Discovery Hub if you need directions to find them.
