Good to know

HistoryThe PumpHouse Theatre in Killarney Park, Takapuna was built in 1905 as a water pumping station drawing water from Lake Pupuke for Devonport settlers. It was listed as a Category II Historic Building in 1983 and converted to a theatre in the late 1960s after being saved from demolition by community arts advocates.

We set out for a short walk and stumbled upon a hidden gem in Takapuna — Killarney Park, nestled alongside the serene Lake Pupuke. Within its lush grounds, you’ll also find the charming Pumphouse Theatre, adding a touch of history and culture to the scenery. The park is perfect for photography, kayaking, or even a bit of paddleboarding. The views across the lake are simply breathtaking, offering a peaceful escape right in the heart of the city. With plenty of parking, shaded benches, and open spaces, it’s an ideal spot to enjoy a snack, share a conversation, or have a small lakeside picnic. A tranquil retreat that’s well worth discovering.

Located on the south side of Lake Pupuke in Takapuna, quiet, has tables and chairs for families to enjoy and reasonable numbers of available parking. Stayed until sunset, sky was amazing.. The park is home to the Pumphouse in Takapuna and is a pleasant setting for outdoor concerts or for feeding the ducks.
