Totara Park

Hands down this is now my favorite park in the North Island! Absolutely pristine with so much space! Its huge! There are ample of tracks for walker and some amazing areas and trails for mountain bikers. There are also picnic areas and lots of off street parking around most of the park. The lookout is spectacular but you cannot drive up at this point in time. However it's a very short walk from the street. We spent a good couple of years here and only saw a tiny portion of the park. Only thing to note there are limited toilets here.

Great for short or long walk + biking trails. There's an uphill part where you get to see amazing sunset view. Just wear warm jacket as it gets cold when windy.

Such a beautiful park to visit!

Great, easy walk. Nice bush with native trees and birds. Well worth a visit and picnic.

My fav place to walk/jog currently. Pools right by it so after a good workout trecking through the many paths you can make your way back to the pools for a shower and swim. Plenty of car park space, two playground areas for your children, field to set up a marquee and public toilets available

Be careful riding your mountain bike here. Incidental broken collar bones are quite prevalent in this area.

This place just gets better. Love the upgrades. Cant beat the beautiful back drop this park and pool has. Absolutely love this place.

HUGE! so many trails lots to explore! Didn't realise how much goodness this place contained until I decided to go for a stroll through here one say. Good for taking pets for walk or the bike out for a ride. Lots of different tracks

The park is in a nice area, was really good for family/work get togethers, plenty of shade under trees, toilets play music and are clean, pity it doesn't have a water park, bigger adventure playground & BBQ outlets apart from that it was great

Wonderfull place. Lots of space for walking or running. One of the venues for X-race every year.
