A public reserve in the northern part of Mt Albert.
Previously an asylum endowment, the land was transferred to Mt Albert Domain Board in 1912 in exchange for Council land adjoining the Avondale Mental Hospital. The land was first named Morningside Reserve and used as a garbage tip until the great depression when it was drained by government relief workers. In 1933 it was renamed Fowlds Park as a tribute to Sir George Fowlds who, as Minister of Health, had arranged the original transfer with the Council land at Avondale.
