Big King is all that remains of the Three Kings volcano cones after the others were quarried away. 15,000 years ago there used to be three scoria mounds.
The lava flow from this volcanic centre overflowed into a 10 kilometre 'river' that terminated at Meola Reef at the Waitemata Harbour.
This circular walk in Auckland takes us to the top of what remains of the volcano, parks and playgrounds with views of Mount Eden, One Tree Hill, Rangitoto, Manukau Harbour and the City skyline.
Big King Reserve is a favourite place for dog lovers as there is an off-leash area available.
Orvieto Cafe is dog-friendly (and not far away is The Eiffel Cafe). Both cafes serve great coffee and tasty food.
