Queen Elizabeth Park
- Location
- To reach the coastal dunes, picnic areas, and motor camp at Paekakariki, turn off SH1 into the township and turn right into Wellington Road. The park entrance is at the end of Wellington Road.
- Description
Queen Elizabeth Park is the last area of natural dunes on Kapiti's coastline. Once part of a swathe of dune land stretching from Paekakariki to Foxton, the park reminds us how the coastline appeared before large-scale human settlement. Greater Wellington is working with the community to protect and enhance this environment while providing a great place to enjoy the outdoors.
With its 650 hectares of easy terrain edged by a sandy beach, Queen Elizabeth Park has plenty of space to enjoy swimming, fishing, walking, cycling, horse riding, picnics or group activities.
The park is open daily from 8am to dusk.
