Belmont Regional Park, Regional park between Lower Hutt and Porirua, New Zealand.
Belmont Regional Park is a conservation area between Lower Hutt and Porirua with native forests, valleys, hills up to 456 meters high, and farmland near Wellington Harbour. The site offers walking trails, mountain biking routes, picnic spots, restrooms, and camping for visitors.
The area developed from Waitangirua Farm and became a park in 1986 to blend recreation and conservation. By 1989 it became the first place in New Zealand to manage farmland alongside protected nature areas together.
The Korokoro Valley holds patches of native forest that support water collection and local ecological needs. These sections show how nature and human settlement exist together in this area.
The site is accessible from several entry points and offers routes at different difficulty levels for walkers and riders. It is best visited in dry weather since paths can become slippery after rain.
The area holds two of New Zealand's oldest concrete gravity dams, built in 1903 and 1904 on Korokoro Stream. These dams supplied water to Petone and stand today as quiet examples of early engineering in the region.
