Pack a picnic and enjoy new green spaces | Amey Daldy Park, Wynyard Quarter
Amey Daldy Park is a pocket park included along the Daldy Street green connection between Victoria Park and the waterfront.

It’s home to 12 Pohutukawa trees recycled from other areas of Quay Street and Wynyard Quarter. It is named after the suffragette Amey Daldy, who was a prominent voice of the suffragette movement in Auckland.
