Fowlds Park

Fowlds Park is a small public reserve in the northern part of Mount Albert, in Auckland City.

An extensive stand of mature gum trees line the northern boundary at the park's highest point.

The land was known as the Morningside Reserve and used as a rubbish tip, becoming a scandal in Auckland newspapers in 1921, due to the pests and unpleasant odours associated with the park.

The Rocky Nook Bowling Club became established in the north-eastern part of the Reserve in the mid 1950s taking over an area previously used as tennis courts and croquet greens.
