Waitangi Regional Park in Napier

Great history place to know your knowledge in Te Reo Maori

After visiting the real Waitangi grounds in Piahia Northland you realise this Awatoto site is one of 20 more places around NZ where copies of the treaty papers were signed by Maori Chiefs of that time in history.

Stunning spot! Beautiful little walk about area, great information boards and good access to the beach and river mouth.... could just do with another rubbish bin at opposite end of the car park... took us ages to find the one and only bin with other cars in the carpark blocking our view of it.Otherwise, fabulous!

Excellent bike rides in the area 👌Good bird wildlife to be seen.

Went to the Marama Luminate Light Trail. Good bit of fun. Well run and very informative. And fun!.

Excellent experience that was well organised, interesting and informative. Absolutely recommend it to all ages

One of my most favorite places in Hawke’s Bay and thoroughly enjoyed the Matariki event that was held there.

Beautiful spot on a sunny day, surrounding area has walking & cycling tracks , even better fishing & 4x4 driving track about the place

Awesome spot with huge heritage and easy access

Stunningly beautiful place must to visit in your bucket list. Ita historically significant for each of us to learn the history or waitangi treaty

Great for wind surfing in sheltered lagoon

This place was a stunner. What we loved was the rich history now restored. Such a beautiful place. We felt connected and refreshed sitting and taking in the surroundings and how important it is to acknowledge the history of tangata whenua.

awesome place to teach you knowledge to find the way out and back home safely.

Beautiful Beach and spot for a picnic.

need more of these historic sites. so much research could be done to promote the scenery in Hawkes Bay for tourism. these well presented setups are vital attractions for active foreigners who come here fascinated by the history and accessible by the bike tracks is key to connecting all the dots great pun too ! . this place is rich in history, WE NEED TO TELL A GREAT STORY about the ancient indigenous and European interactions, tales, urban legends, stories, personal accounts of famous and infamous figures known and not known to "enrich the pitch"! add more ancient Pa sites, battle grounds, famous events and conversations to the circuit.. and all the tracks need to connected! tourists should be able to cycle from as far as Waipatiki/Tangoio all the way to Waimarama! think BIG! come on HBRC! promote promote PROMOTE! sell it! sell the story

Excellent, spiritual, environmental power

This is a marvellous place. The star compass is inspirational and the park has been replanted and restored. A must visit place.

Great park, glow in the dark stones! Perfect place to watch rocketlab launch, especially at night

The surf plays havoc with my fishing gear probably due to the pounding stones. No wonder the fish werent biting.

Awesome spot for fishing, kayaking, kite boarding or jet skiing. Be aware of the sudden drop off at lower tide levels, very dangerous for kids that are not old enough to swim yet

For bird watchers, the horseshoe wetlands can be very interesting. To get there take the track under the road and railway bridges.

Great place to get some fresh air, on a good day you may see a flock of royal spoonbills

Beautiful sunrise at Waitangi Park. Such a peaceful place

Both amazing and humbling. We learnt a lot about Maori navigation skills using this compass and also enjoyed taking in the spectacular views

always a must visit destination when visiting the bay, but best done with a tour guide to get the full coverage of the history of the area. we celebrated my niece and nephew wedding was beautiful, although it was a hot day it pays to take warm clothing while waiting for the bride. The area is by the coast it is always colder than town...

Very good place 2 visit check out the Maori side of things or head out for some surfcasting or a dip

A well maintained park and resource of the Hawkes Bay.

Culture with a view, great matariki link with historical link to Maori history and natural beauty.

Very intriguing and inspirational. Historical information is fulfilling and inspiring. NZ has culture!

Beautiful views, and we loved the carvings, however thats it and its just a small area next to the beach.

Great place of historic and significance.. beautiful views of the Pacific ocean

Great place to take photos! Nice lookout of the sea! Highly recommended place to take videos or photos!

Love how the stone inlay glows at night. Lots to do by day with impressive birdlife. Estuary popular with kite surfers. Always people fishing off the beach. The only drawback is getting back onto the busy road. So even better if accessed via the bike track.

Really cool place to visit, classic Napier shorelines, top kahawai fishing spot also, depending on time of year.....kingfish and good snapper fishing aswell

Great location telling story of local area activities including cultural and social history of the river mouth environment , information panels listing wildlife and surrounding environment

Not bad for ceremonies such as weddings.Beautiful scenery with enough car parking for the whole family.

The view is so beautiful overlooking the sea. There is a great gathering of fishermen. Unfortunately there is a lot of waste scattered everywhere. There are not enough rubbish bins to accommodate festive seasons when most popular. Additionally there are no toilet facilities.

Great place for cycling. Very interesting facts of maori history

Absolutely stunning place to be at sunrise and sunset. The amazing surrounding back drop of this place makes for a beautiful setting. 👍

If nice weather day I like have a coffee walk there.

Great spot to visit and look out at the Napier shoreline and Cape Kidnappers in the distance. I look forward to visiting again as they are doing a lot of planting so the area will only get more established. The carvings forming a sun dial are interesting especially for a 3 year old who found the concept incredible. The pathway for walkers runners and bikes leads all the way from Clive past the Waitangi Regional Park and all the way to Napier

Beautiful, interesting, and educational

Still in development. The displays about traditional navigation and the carvings are going to be stunning, but well worth a visit even now.

Here doing a litter clean up lots of fantastic work happening here last time I was here we planted a few thousand natives nice to see them growing

Very relaxing,will look awesome in a few years once the plants and trees take off.

Another historic spot, that has ocean views and if you stand in certain spots echoes

We stopped here to have a rest and some food and was amazed. The scenery was great and the art and history displays were interesting.

Lovely to see traditional navigation systems and the wonderfully carved pou that make it up.

Lovely tranquil place to reflect or take in history. A haven for wildlife & beautifully planted estuaries.

Good walk when nice weather and can be very windy. Went there fishing and it seems to be very popular spot. Please dont swim in the river even it looks quite, but you can be surprise with very strong current.
