This commemorative Tōtara was planted on 28 April 2025 to celebrate and honour the 100th year anniversary on our Epsom Campus. It was planted together by the College and the Cornwall Park Trust Board to foster a greener future and mark a lasting legacy.
Cornwall Park and St Cuthbert’s College
Sir John Logan Campbell gifted Cornwall Park to New Zealand in 1901 and the Cornwall Park Trust Board was established to provide the on-going management of Cornwall Park and its assets.
Cornwall Park’s land extends beyond the park itself into the surrounding neighbourhoods; this land is on the periphery of the park and is leased by Cornwall Park Trust Board to fund the maintenance and upkeep of the park. There are more than 90 residential, recreational, and commercial leasehold properties within or surrounding the park.
In 1919, and 1921, St Cuthbert’s College Trust Board took up leases with the Cornwall Park Trust Board which resulted in the college moving from its original location in Stokes Road Mount Eden to our Market Road site in Epsom in 1925.
