I te tau 1912 i hokona te Cabbage Tree Swamp e te rōpū kirikiti o Tāmaki, i taua wā ko Eden Park kē te ingoa, mō ngā kēmu o ngā tino kaitākaro, i tākarohia i mua i te Tomeina o Tāmaki. Te tau i muri mai ka rihitia e ngā kaitākaro kirikiti te pāka ki te Uniana Whutupaoro o Tāmaki mō te hōtoke. Ka whakatūria te whata mātakitaki, ā, ka tū te kēmu whutupaoro tuatahi i te tau 1914. Ka whakatahea te whenua, ā, i tae mai ngā kaimātakitaki e 30,000 ki te kēmu whakamātautau tuatahi ki te kapa Springbok i te tau 1921. I te tau 1924, ka pūreirei te pātītī, engari kua ū tonu te pāka hei kāinga mō te whutupaoro ā-ao. Ka tākarohia te kēmu whakamutunga o te kapu whutupaoro o te ao hei te 2011.
