We are spoilt for choice in the number of Parks and Reserves in the region. Fill in your time discovering about their past or enjoying the environment they offer.

Looking for a greater adventure, then explore the National Parks in the Ruapehu region, the only district in New Zealand to have two official National Parks only one hour from Wanganui city, the region encompasses Mt Ruapehu with two wonderful ski fields while out of the winter season, the Tongariro Crossing is a must do.
