Tāpapakanga Regional Park, Regional park in Auckland Region, New Zealand
Tapapakanga Regional Park extends along a sheltered bay with pebble beaches and multiple walking paths overlooking Ponui, Waiheke, and Tarahiki Islands.
The park opened to the public in 1995 after James Ashby's descendants sold the property to the Auckland Regional Council in 1990.
The Ashby Homestead remains within the park grounds, representing the legacy of James Ashby who settled in Tapapakanga Bay in 1899 with his family.
Visitors can access multiple walking tracks, including the 2-kilometer Tapapakanga Coastal Loop Track and the 1.5-kilometer Tapapakanga Historic Loop Track.
The park provides birdwatching opportunities with frequent sightings of Oyster Catchers, Black Shags, White-faced Herons, Kingfishers, and Tui.
