Inspired by the Māori creation story of Tāne Mahuta separating Ranginui and Papatūānuku, the station's design pays tribute to the majestic kauri forest that once covered this ridgeline. Through bold architecture and cultural storytelling, the station reflects the rich history, creativity and diversity that define Karangahape Road today.
This is your chance to experience the station before it opens to passengers and discover how the City Rail Link will transform access to one of Auckland's most vibrant and iconic neighbourhoods. Enjoy performances, entertainment and activities that celebrate the people, culture and energy that make Karangahape Road so special.
