Onehunga, you see, was originally designed for soldiers, the Fencibles. They were sent to defend Auckland from Maori attacks that never actually happened. This overlay of colonial history onto the existing Maori landscape shaped Onehunga. The town became a transport hub. It blossomed with buildings from its economic heyday. Church Street Corner Reserve. It stands as a silent witness to this transformation. The very ground beneath our feet once bore the imprint of Onehunga’s indigenous people. They used the lava caves running down from Maungakiekie, One Tree Hill, as burial sites. Later, the area was surveyed and divided, the streets laid out in a grid. The Fencibles arrived, and Onehunga began its journey into the modern era. Church Street Corner Reserve. A place of rest, a patch of green amid the bustle. It’s a place where the echoes of the past mingle with the sounds of the present. It’s a place where you can take a moment to reflect on the layers of history that have shaped this unique corner of Auckland.
