Discover the majestic A H Reed Memorial Park, a pristine remnant of Northland's ancient kauri forest nestled in Whangārei. This captivating ecological treasure invites you to step into a living legacy, where towering kauri trees, some over 500 years old, create an awe-inspiring natural canopy. The park's highlight is its unique raised Canopy Walkway, allowing visitors to experience the forest from an elevated perspective, bringing you eye-to-eye with these magnificent giants. Below, the serene Wai Koromiko Stream gently bubbles through the park, leading to the spectacular 23-meter Paranui Falls – a captivating natural wonder well worth the visit. A H Reed Memorial Park is dedicated to accessibility, offering a variety of well-maintained loop tracks, including one specifically designed for people of all abilities and wheelchair users, ensuring everyone can immerse themselves in its beauty. The park honours the legacy of celebrated author and publisher A H Reed, whose passion for long-distance walking, the natural environment, and kauri trees helped preserve this special place for future generations.
