Victoria Park, Auckland
Victoria Park is a park and sports ground in the Auckland CBD, Auckland city centre, New Zealand. It was opened in 1905 and named after the queen who had died four years earlier. It lies on reclaimed bay land in Freemans Bay, a suburb directly west of the Auckland CBD. However, it does not have direct connection to the foreshore anymore, as the Western Reclamation and the Viaduct Basin quarter lie between it and the Waitematā Harbour. The bay started to be filled in as early as the 1870s although the bulk of the reclamation appears to have happened after 1901. The Park was 'finished' around 1912, the area to the north (called the Western Reclamation) dates from after that. History A park located west of the Auckland central city was mooted at a Council meeting in 1884. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
