Working in conjunction with LandLab a legacy piece of infrastructure from the 36th Americas Cup has been revived.
Check out our newly transformed, family friendly Pocket Park at Hobson Wharf.
This idyllically located hidden gem has just become the best new spot in Auckland for family fun and spectacular views of the Waitematā Harbour.
Bleachers, musical seesaws, a spot of shade and a flag city now encompasses this almost island-like wharf which was previously the home to Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli during the Americas Cup in 2021. The seaside seesaws, activated by movement, create a delightful tune and light up the night with a colourful display that dazzles after dark.
To get to this hidden gem, follow the path behind the Maritime Museum on the Eastern Viaduct and walk towards the flag city! A spot to bring your lunch, kids or take in a seaside sunset - it’s definitely worth the walk.
