charitable works. The National Women's Hospital building dates from the late 1950s and was an icon of modernity in its day. Cornwall Park During World War II large numbers of prefabricated buildings were constructed in the eastern part of Cornwall Park in readiness for wounded and sick American soldiers to be evacuated from Guadalcanal. Cornwall Hospital was used during the 1950s and 60s as a geriatric hospital and maternity wards until the adjacent National Women's Hospital was fully open. The buildings were progressively reduced in number in the 1960s although some remained standing empty until the mid 1970s. Now only the US flag pole and a plaque remain as a memorial to the wartime usage. The park is a thriving centre for socialising, photography and relaxation. Within the park grounds there is a licensed bistro, a cafe and coffee truck as well as a creamery selling icecreams and waffles. Cornwall Park Trust who manage this private park, put on free music concerts and educational nature workshops for the community. The iconic obelisk on top of Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill is visible night and day, thanks to the red light on its tip.
