Waharau Regional Park, Regional park in Hauraki District, New Zealand.

Waharau Regional Park stretches from the eastern Hunua Ranges to the Firth of Thames coast, covering 170 hectares of diverse natural terrain.

The Auckland Regional Authority purchased the land between 1970 and 1973 to create access to the eastern water catchment of the Hunua Ranges.

The southern section at Waihihi Bay marks the landing site of the Tainui migratory waka, connecting to early Māori settlement history.

The park maintains two camping areas: Tainui Tribes Campsite with powered sites and Blackberry Flats with picnic tables and bush surroundings.

Paper mulberry and karaka groves within the park were essential resources for local Māori communities throughout their historical occupation.
