A woman has appeared in court after a newborn baby was found dead in an Auckland park. 

The 37-year-old has been granted interim name suppression and charged with concealing a dead body.

Police were called to Albert Park about 7am yesterday after the infant was found by a park worker.

The charge document seen by RNZ stated that the alleged offence took place on Saturday.

The woman appeared at the Auckland District Court via video link this afternoon.

Judge Belinda Sellars asked the woman to surrender her passport to police.

She was remanded on bail until her next court appearance on Wednesday.
