Heritage Site * Volcanic Area * Education Centre * Playground * Skate Park * Walkway
Mangere Mountain erupted approximately 18,000 years ago, and is one of the best preserved of Auckland's many volcanic cones. The mountain is a place for solitude, recreation and exploration. These features, and the unique character of Te Pane o Mataoho, make the mountain a treasure chest of learning for people of all ages.
Take a walk up Mangere Mountain - there's both a short route up and a longer route, but, either way, you get spectacular views of the area, the coastline and Auckland. Looking out over the vista you understand why the mountain was such a strategic stronghold for early Maori.
Manukau City Council, Department of Conservation, Auckland Regional Council and Te-Wai-O-Hua signed an agreement to enable the establishment of the education centre in 1995. The Mangere Mountain Education Trust now runs the centre with the support of the partners.
Facilities include:
- Walking tracks
- Picnic tables
- A playground
- Sports fields (on Mangere Domain)
- Concrete skate park.
Dogs are permitted if they are on a leash.
