East Harbour Regional Park, Regional park in Wellington Region, New Zealand
East Harbour Regional Park extends over 2000 hectares, featuring forests, lakes, coastal areas, and hills reaching elevations of 373 meters along Wellington Harbour.
The land served as a settlement area for Te Atiawa people who maintained fishing spots and berry collection sites before European colonization began in 1839.
The establishment of Pencarrow Lighthouse in 1859 marked a significant maritime development as New Zealand's first permanent lighthouse, guiding vessels through Wellington Harbour.
The park divides into three main sections: Northern Forest for hiking and mountain biking, Parangarahu Lakes for nature observation, and Baring Head for coastal exploration.
Two freshwater bodies, Lake Kohangatera and Lake Kohangapiripiri, form protected wetland environments within the southern section of the regional park.
