Waitawa Regional Park, Regional park on Tāmaki Strait coast, New Zealand.

Waitawa Regional Park is a regional park on the coast of the Tāmaki Strait in Franklin, near Kawakawa Bay and Clevedon, about 50 kilometres from central Auckland. The land was previously farmland and a dynamite factory site; a commercial wharf and ablutions building from that era remain. It is designed for active recreation such as mountain biking, horse riding, kayaking and disc golf.

The site was originally a dynamite factory operated by Orica Explosives before being purchased by Auckland Regional Council in 2004. This acquisition transformed the industrial land into a public recreational area open to the community.

The park's name comes from the Waitawa Stream, and its recreational design was a first for Auckland: trails and bays are zoned for mountain biking, horse riding, kayaking and disc golf. One beach forms part of the Te Ara Moana Kayak Trail, and another is set to host marine education. A wharf and ablutions building from the Orica explosives era still stand.

The park lies about 50 kilometres from central Auckland, near Kawakawa Bay and Clevedon in Franklin, reached by road along the coast. A commercial wharf and an ablutions building survive from the site's dynamite-factory years. Tracks are shared by mountain bikers, horse riders and walkers, and one beach forms part of the Te Ara Moana Kayak Trail.

One section of the beach operates as a marine education center where visitors learn about local water ecosystems. The park also connects to the Te Ara Moana Kayak Trail network, allowing paddlers to explore a wider coastal route.
