Puketāpapa

Among Auckland’s urban districts, Puketāpapa stands out for the volcanic cone of Puketāpapa, also known as Mount Roskill. It occupies part of Auckland’s narrow isthmus, within the Auckland Volcanic Field, while its southern neighbourhoods extend towards Manukau Harbour. The cone was the site of a Māori pā, or fortified settlement, long before European colonisation, giving this suburban area a direct link to the region’s Māori heritage. Residential streets, local shopping centres and parks now spread across terrain formed by earlier eruptions.
