Symonds Street Cemetery is a historic cemetery and park in central Auckland, New Zealand. It is in 5.8 hectares of deciduous forest on the western slope of Grafton Gully,[3] by the corner of Symonds Street and Karangahape Road, and is crossed by the Grafton Bridge. The street (and by extension, the cemetery) is named for William Cornwallis Symonds, a British Army officer prominent in the early colonisation of New Zealand.[4] It has a Historic Place – Category I listing with the New Zealand Historic Places Trust.[2] Maintenance and administration of the cemetery is provided by the Auckland Council.
