註釋'A couple of years ago I became involved in the Pukekura Park when I volunteered to be a buggy driver, doing tours for the Friends of the Park. There was some historical information available for the drivers but whether the driver decided to use it was up to them. Once I decided I was going to use historical information on my tours I found that I wanted to know more than was provided. This started me on my research journey. Being a member of the Friends of the Park there are many informative articles in their magazines. Another great source of information is "Pukekura - A Centennial History of Pukekura Park and Brooklands" by A. B. Scanlan. Then I was introduced to Papers Past, a fabulous source of information. This gave more depth to the stories that I had read in other material. Over the past two years I have amassed several thousand articles from this source. I must also mention Ian Hutchinson, Botanical Records Officer at Pukekura Park. Ian has a wealth of information about the park and has been most helpful to me on my journey of discovery. This document is mainly based on articles in Papers Past and hopefully factual. So I decided that, having spent many hundreds of hours doing the research I may as well collate the information. This only covers the history of the park while it was called the Recreation Ground, from 1875 - 1908, which was the period when the bones of the park were formed.' -- Preface.
