Āwhitu Regional Park

The 1.55-square-kilometer park combines regenerating forests, wetlands, and farmland along the eastern edge of the Āwhitu Peninsula at 28 meters elevation.

Established in 1975, the park maintains its agricultural heritage through active farming operations while incorporating conservation areas for native species protection.

The land holds deep connections to Māori iwi communities who inhabited the area for centuries before European settlement began in the region.

Visitors can access camping facilities, a lodge, picnic areas, barbecue stations, and multiple walking tracks throughout the diverse landscape.

The park integrates working farmland with public recreation spaces, creating an educational environment where visitors observe traditional farming alongside natural habitats.
