Introduction

Monte Cecilia Park in Hillsborough features outstanding established grounds with notable trees, architecture and cultural history, and the historic Pah Homestead, now home to the TSB Bank Wallace Arts Centre.

A series of land purchases in recent years have seen the park grow to over 15 ha. It is envisaged that in coming years it will become a park of regional significance, similar in stature and maturity to Albert Park, Cornwall Park and the Auckland Domain.

In 2007, following community consultation, a master plan was drawn up to guide the development of the park. It recommended an arts theme for the park and homestead to give the park a distinct purpose and identity.

To this end, the homestead was restored and adapted with financial assistance from the TSB bank. It now houses the James Wallace Arts Trust’s extensive collection of contemporary New Zealand art.

The homestead opened to the public in August 2010.
