The Scenic Drive is also known as the Auckland Urban Route number 24.
The road was first constructed in the 1910s, opening in January 1914 as Exhibition Drive (named for the 1913-1914 Auckland Industrial, Agricultural and Mining Exhibition, held in the Domain on the site of the Wintergardens).
Later known as the Waitākere Scenic Drive, today its name shortened to the "Scenic Drive".
It is also part of the Twin Coast Discovery Highway.
On a fine day you are able glimpse some of the amazing views of the city and see the native trees that have grown since the roads creation.
If travelling between Titirangi to Swanson - parking is on right side of road.
Look up at the sign: the Twin Coast Discovery route has had a refresh, its logo and branding updated (this sign is the old branding).
The route has been expanded with the addition of two Auckland Journeys, information is limited, but they are:
- Triple Harbours (Manukau, Helensville and Kaipara - which incorporates the Scenic Drive)
- The Sheltered Coast (Escape to Puhoi, Matakana and Leigh)
There are seven Northland Journeys (Te Tai Tokerau) information can be found HERE
