Regional parks

Pāpāmoa Hills Cultural Heritage Regional Park will be closed until further notice due to extensive slips and flooding.

The entrance area at the Poplar Lane car park is also not accessible due to damage from recent weather. Our kaimahi (staff) are assessing the situation but our main concern is community safety so please stay away. We will keep you updated as we know more.

Recreation and protection of both the natural environment and cultural heritage are important aspects of a vibrant region.

We provide ownership and management of regional parks. These parks are explored and enjoyed by thousands of visitors each month.

We maintain and enhance visitor experiences including car parking, toilets, signs and interpretation, track development and maintenance, prescribed grazing and associated management, programmed native re-vegetation and community events.
