Pukeahu National War Memorial Park
Pukeahu
A national memorial park built for the centenary of WWI, with a carillon tower, a memorial hall and the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior, along with memorials from Australia and other countries.
Completed in 2015, the park is centred on the National War Memorial Carillon, which opened in 1932 and houses 74 bells, with regular recitals. The Hall of Memories and the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior stand in front of the carillon.
The park contains memorials and sculptures from Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Türkiye and other countries. Admission is free. It is about 1 km south of Te Papa, near the Mount Cook area, and can be linked with Cuba Street and Mount Victoria.
