Judged by the New Zealand Gardens Trust, the five-star rating goes to gardens that are highly recommended for their presentation, design and plant interest throughout the year and that have a distinctive identity of their own.
Pukekura Park is unique in offering a diverse range of landscapes, from the remnant native bush to vast lawn areas and garden displays, and has a world-renowned sports arena.
It also includes the Bowl of Brooklands, the Fernery and Display Houses and the popular Brooklands Zoo. This summer, the park's Bowl of Brooklands featured a concert by L.A.B.
