January to June 2013

Welcome to Parnell Trust’s programme of Community Classes

and Activities. Every term, you’ll find something new to learn,

discover or just have a go at while you meet people and make

new friends.

Our classes are led by knowledgeable and experienced

tutors. Our group activities, such as Bridge and Mah Jong, are

coordinated by wonderful community volunteers.

We offer a fresh programme twice a year. Our programme

for Terms 1 & 2 runs from January to June; the Terms 3 & 4

programme runs from July to December.

Most classes and activities are held at Parnell Community

Centre, in the Jubilee Building, where there’s plenty of parking

outside business hours. Other classes are held at our Glanville

Community Campus.

In 2012 Parnell Trust created a satellite schedule of Inner City

activities and classes for Auckland CBD residents. Most of

these are held at The Pioneer Women's and Ellen Melville Hall,

Freyberg Place off High Street. (See pg 16.)

Signing up for a Class or Activity is easy

1. Enrol online at www.parnell.org.nz/enrol.htm or

Heritage Walk SeriesAuckland Domain Auckland Domain is located on one of Auckland's first volcanoes and its vantage point

overlooking the harbour has made it a focal point for both Maori and European settlers.

Auckland Domain – Architecture Auckland Domain walk

Learn about the architectural history of this glorious park, richly endowed with sculptures and

heritage buildings.

Campus Walk Inaugurated in 1883, the University of Auckland grew around the grounds of Old Government

House. Over time, many of the original buildings in the vicinity have been added. Today the

University sprawls over several blocks from its prominent location above the city.

Grafton Perhaps best known for its bridge, the suburb of Grafton extends from Symonds Street to

the Domain and out towards Mt Eden. This walk takes in one of Auckland's most significant

cemeteries and provides background on heritage buildings, both residential and public.

Epsom – In the Zone Discover a hidden corner of Auckland nestled on the slopes of Mt Eden, above Newmarket. Iconic

homesteads feature lovely gardens nurtured from harsh terrain. Auckland Grammar School

exerts its influence on local real estate as Aucklanders vie to be in this historic Grammar zone.

Self-guided recorded Heritage Walks to be available for these walks. In some cases,

as noted, two guided walks have been combined into one self-guided walk.

Parnell Trust offers a unique programme of heritage walks around the historic central

Auckland suburbs of Parnell, Grafton, Newmarket and Epsom.

A schedule of guided walks is available from September to April, with many happening

during Auckland's Heritage Festival. Our walks are led by knowledgeable guides who provide

interesting commentary and anecdotes on local heritage treasures and the people that shaped

these central Auckland suburbs. See http://www.parnell.org.nz/Parnell-Trust-Heritage-Walks-

Auckland.htm for a current schedule of walks and pricing.

To enable you to take a heritage walk at a time to suit you, Parnell Trust will launch

self-guided heritage walks in early 2013. These are being developed from our guided walk

series with generous support from ASB Community Trust and our walk leaders. The self-

guided walks will provide a rich heritage experience combining downloadable recordings of

the walks supported by mobile Apps for sound files, maps and photos, together with extensive

links to additional material.

For further details see www.parnell.org.nz/Parnell-Trust-Heritage-Walks.htm

Guided Heritage Walks can be booked for private groups at any time of the year,

depending on availability of our guides. Please contact us at 09 555 5164 for enquiries.

Judges Bay This Parnell walk includes many sites of interest covering both Maori and European settlement,

the beginnings of Bishop Selwyn's Anglican expansion and a history of early residents at St

Stephens Chapel.

has undergone a series of transformations. Heritage buildings and icons from the 1850s to

1960s remain in this leading Auckland retail centre.
