Nestled on the shore of the Manukau Harbour, Ambury Regional Park is a working farm, an important education centre and a birdwatchers paradise with a volcanic history,
The park sits on ash-covered lava flows from Mangere Mountain and has views across the harbour to the Manukau Heads and Waitakere Ranges. It takes its name from the Ambury Milk Company, which milked cows and ran a town milk supply farm here from 1893-1965. Free to wander through the park but please leave gates as you find them.
The farm animals at Ambury are family favourites. At 10.30 each morning the cow is milked. Grassy lanes between the animal enclosures help you get up close to the animals safely.
