Te Rau Pūriri Regional Park, Regional park in Auckland Region, New Zealand.

Te Rau Pūriri Regional Park extends across 249 hectares of land, featuring rolling farmland, sandy beaches at Waipiro Bay, and patches of regenerating forest.

Auckland politician Daniel Pollen and farmer William Young purchased the land in 1870, later selling it to Alfred Buckland who developed it into a cattle operation.

The elders of Haranui Marae selected the name Te Rau Pūriri for the park, reflecting the presence of coastal pūriri forest within its boundaries.

The park maintains designated walking tracks, picnic areas, and camping facilities, with specific zones allocated for dog exercise and sports activities.

The Wairotoroto wetland in the southern section of the park supports diverse ecosystems alongside regenerating kanuka and rewarewa forest zones.
