We run events

Regular work days in the park

Centennial Park Bush Society volunteers have been working in Centennial Park since about 1976.

We meet weekly on Wednesday mornings and on the first Saturday of each month to work on weed control sites, plant trees and work on maintaining tracks.

We always break for coffee around 10.30am and work til about midday.

Any new volunteers are welcomed with open arms. We will help you to recognise plants and deal with weeds in the most effective and safe way.

Kid friendly work days

Often we will run a special event aimed a child friendly activity like planting or mulching, usually in school holidays

Park Camp

We have run several camps now in conjunction with Auckland Council Parks. This overnight family camp is full of action and activities and is very popular. Activities include a bug hunt, stream care, bush walk, making stuff and cooking damper over the fire.

Look out for the next park camp likely to be summer 2026.

Corporate opportunities

We welcome corporate and community groups who want to help out. Previously we have hosted corporate volunteers who have helped with tracks, planting, mulching and weed busting.
