Pukekura Park is a world-renowned park located in the
heart of New Plymouth city. The park covers about 52ha (128 acres)
and contains a diverse range of landscapes, including
many plant collections, exotic specimen trees, formal gardens,
lakes and walking trails through native bush.
The park includes the Fernery and Display Houses as well as
the adjacent garden estate area of Brooklands, home to the acclaimed
TSB Bowl of Brooklands and Brooklands Zoo.
Pukekura Park is also the backdrop for the annual TSB Bank Festival of Lights,
a spectacular event held from mid-December to early February.
The main gate at Fillis St provides direct access from the centre of New Plymouth.
However, there are 22 pedestrian entrances allowing entry from all sides
of the park, including car access from Gover Street, Victoria Road and Fillis Street.
