Fort Buckley

[5] During World War 2 an anti-aircraft gun was installed on the former caretaker's cottage area located in the slopes above the gun-pits and midway up the overall site.

The Fort Buckley site land is now owned by the Wellington City Council and has been set aside as a reserve since 2010.

The Fort Buckley site is now regularly maintained and enhanced by the Highland Park Progressive Association (HPPA) residents' group in partnership with the Wellington City Council.

Various community social activities, including family picnics, geocaching, track walking, are regularly taking place onsite.

During March 2014 the HPPA installed a large picnic table on the former caretaker's cottage concrete pad and significantly sprayed and cleared further vegetation with assistance of teams from the Wellington City Council.
