AUCKLAND MUNICIPAL HANDBOOK
The Park was the gift, in 1901, of one of Auckland's most venerable pioneers, Dr. (afterwards Sir) John Logan Campbell, who arrived in New Zealand in 1839, and took up residence in the City after its foundation. From then until his death, in 1912, he was continuously associated with the City. His remains repose on the summit of One Tree Hill. The Park was named in commemoration of the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York, in 1901.
At the northern entrance to the Park stands a statue of Sir John Logan Campbell, which possesses striking features of style and workmanship, and worthily commemorates the "Father of Auckland."
