Onepoto (volcanic Crater)
Onepoto is the name of a volcanic explosion crater (or maar) on the North Shore in Auckland, New Zealand. It is a part of the Auckland volcanic field. History Located near the approaches to the Auckland Harbour Bridge, it was created by a series of eruptions approximately 185,000 years ago. The crater first became a freshwater lake, and later became a tidal lagoon when sea level rose to the present level 7,000 years ago after the last ice age. The crater's floor has been reclaimed, with recreational sports fields and a pond, and some parts of the tuff ring were quarried away in the 1950s to provide fill for the Northern Motorway.''Onepoto and Tank Farm'' - ''City of Fire'', insert magazine in ''The New Zealand Herald'', Friday 15 February 2008.

Onepoto Bridge
Onepoto Bridge is a long pedestrian and cyclist bridge crossing the tidal stream outlet of the Onepoto volcanic crater in Northcote, Auckland. The bridge became necessary after widening of Onewa Road towards State Highway 1 made the existing bridge too narrow to carry footpaths. After deciding to build a new bridge, North Shore City Council resolved to construct an iconic structure that would create "architecture integrated into the landscape". This resulted in the bridge structure being encased with wooden curved 'ribs' that have been described as a whale skeleton, a wave or a half-finished sailing ship. The bridge was designed by Beca Group.''Bridging the gap between art and utility'' – ''LG – New Zealand Local Government'', volume 44 No 5, May 2008, Page 15 The bridge is also part of North Shore City's strategic cycle route network and incorporated into works to better access the local estuarial area for the community.
