Wenderholm Regional Park

Wenderholm Regional Park is an Auckland regional park on the estuary and coastline north of the city, known for its beaches, native bush and recreational facilities. The park provides shoreline access, walking tracks, picnic areas and camping in a coastal reserve setting.

Visitors use the park for swimming, kayaking and short coastal walks through patches of native forest and along sandy beaches at the mouth of a river estuary. Facilities include picnic shelters, toilets and short loop tracks that highlight the reserve’s coastal ecology.

The park was acquired and developed as part of Auckland’s regional parks network to protect coastal landscapes and provide recreational access close to the city. Management focuses on both visitor use and the conservation of native vegetation and shoreline habitats.

Wenderholm sits on the north Auckland coastline near the Puhoi and Orewa areas, about 25 to 35 kilometers north of central Auckland depending on route, and is reached by regional roads from the northern motorway.
