Parihaka Scenic Reserves

Mt Parihaka is a key landmark in Whangarei, culturally significant and a great short walk for the energetic! Parihaka is an eroded volcanic cone rising to 241 metres above sea level. At the summit, the views of the city and harbour are just magnificent. Parihaka Scenic Reserves is a Green Flag Award Winner 2012/13 - an award launched in England 16 years ago to reward the best parks and green spaces. The focus on nature conservation and sustainable practices for the day to day operational management of the Reserves was praised.
