Albert Park Victorian-style city park Auckland

Albert Park Near the city center art museum in Auckland, Albert Park is an elegant open city park, full of greenery, lawns, and ancient trees. Young people are lying on the lawn reading books on the hillside, and there are also children playing. The park is quiet and warm. A white clock tower stands in the distance. There is a queen statue in the park, and the flower clock made of flowers is working. According to the introduction, this quiet city garden has an extraordinary history. In the early years, the indigenous Maori people of New Zealand settled there. After the British invasion, it was once Albert Barracks, and now there is a large cannon installation in the park. The cast iron fountain in the center of the park was imported from the UK at the time. It was later designed by landscape professionals and became a city park with a strong British color. The clock tower (The Clock Tower) seen in the park has an ivory white stone exterior, which is actually located outside the park and belongs to the University of Auckland. When talking about this clock tower with the locals, they call it BIRTHDAY CAKE! The shape is special. The introduction shows that this clock tower has a long history, completed in 1926, and was once the most famous landmark in Auckland. You can walk to Albert Park from the city center or the art museum in Auckland, and there are several bus stops nearby.
