Cornwall Park is a public park in Mahora, a suburb of Hastings, New Zealand, named for King George V.
The land was bought by the council in 1901, and the park opened to the public in November 1905. Over time the facilities of the park were expanded to include areas for sports, various trees were planted around the park, and in the 1920s a major renovation saw much of what the park is today come to fruition. The park has had a connection to royal events since its inception, with celebrations for coronations of monarchs being held there, notably including the installation of the King George V Coronation drinking fountain.
Today the park has many key attractions and facilities including the Osmanthus Garden (a traditional Chinese garden), the John Holt Memorial Display House, the King George V Coronation drinking fountain, and an aviary.
