Corner Park
Corner Park was planted from 1928 onwards, containing some of the earliest plantings of Douglas Cook, mostly using plant material bought from within New Zealand. This was W. Douglas Cook's first major effort at the development of his ‘Park’. He envisaged he might create this after he saw the great gardens in Britain during his invalid recuperation time in the period of the First World War. The trees on the road edge about Corner Park were planted earlier in the 1920s, these included many plane trees and elm species and extended from what is called The Circus, right down the Hihiroroa Road to the end of the flat he called ‘Burnside’.
