Belmont Regional Park

With breathtaking views and forested valleys, Belmont Regional Park is a great destination for walking, running, mountain biking and horseback riding. The park includes most of the mountainous region between Hutt Valley and Porirua, and famous attractions include the historic Korokoro Dam, the WWII arsenal, and the early Carriage road built from Wellington. Eleven trails and hiking trails meander through waterfalls, valleys, or along ridges leading to the vast and spectacular grassland plains. Each trail takes anywhere from 15 minutes to 8 hours. Because of its open terrain and challenging forest trails, Belmont Regional Park is popular with mountain bikers for riders of all ages and experience levels.
