AH Reed Memorial Park, Whareora 0175, Northland, New Zealand
The A H Reed Memorial Park is a magnificent remnant of the original Northland kauri forest. Maturing kauri trees known to be at least 500 years old can be easily viewed close up from a raised walkway through the forest canopy.
The bubbling Wai Koromiko Stream runs through the middle of the park and the Paranui Falls, at over 23 metres high, are well worth a visit.
The site received recreational reserve staus in 1889 and was named in 1956 after A H Reed, a well known author and publisher who had an interest in long distance walking, the environment and kauri trees in particular.
There are several loop tracks through the park, and one is designed to be suitable for the less able and wheel chair users. Times given are for walking the tracks one way only.
