H.

Quite why this ancient battle site has the ignominious name of Gate Pa Domain on the maps, I don't know. Here lies the site of one of the greatest battle scenes of the 1864 New Zealand Wars and the defeat of supposedly superior British forces. It was the magificent acts of Maori such as Henare Taetari and Heni Te Kiri Karamu who provided safe provision for she passage of British wounded, women and children cared for wounded British troops, obeying the Scriptural injunction 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him.' Beautiful po line the entrance and plaques tell the battle story. The wooded gully at the rear is where unnamed wounded Maori fell and were buried. Lest we forget.

Serene and moving place to visit. Good descriptions of the significance. The wooden carvings are powerful.

I joined a school trip and listened to the reverend of Gate Pa, a chapel on the Pa site, give a very informative engaging and relevant talk about the history of the local Iwi and the first European missionaries, the musket wars and the British troops the renal of land and how this had lead to the ongoing land disputes.

J.

No toilets but lovely park to stroll around

S.

Learnt a lot about the history of an important war fought here between Maori and Pakeha. Driven a hundred times pass this place and never knew how historically significant it was.

d.

A very surreal place, definitely do some research on the battle of gate pa prior to going.

J.

Historic place where a war took place in which hundreds of natives perish due to the colonization of the place. Historical marks with the history are located around to tell the story about it, Carved totems surround the park and 2 carved-death trees are beautiful staying, telling the history of the local people.

Learned something about NZ history and admired some Maori carvings at the entrance, it's a very nice tidy private space like an outdoor museum.

J.

Great little park, just missing toilet facilities.

History is real

P.

A deeply moving reminder of confrontation and honour at many levels ... and a challenge to the honoring of te tiriti

D.

(Translated) A place where I spent one of the many important battles in the era that the Maories, were conquered, unfortunately the place is not any kind of archaeological remains. But it is very good to go read the posters with information of what happened. (Original) Un lugar donde paso unas de las tantas importantes batallas en la epoca que los maories, fueron conquistados, lamentablemente del lugar no queda ningún tipo de resto arqueológico. Pero es muy bueno para ir a leer los carteles con información de lo que sucedio.
