Parana Park
Parana Park is the perfect place to have a picnic with the family or just stroll along the walkways. It is close to Memorial Park, River Walk South, Hamilton Gardens, and the Waikato River. The children’s park was a gift of George Parr to the Hamilton city community. He envisioned the then empty land to be a place where children suffering from illness would play and have fun. The name Parana is a combination of his name with Annie McPherson who has planted trees in the area. Parana park has an outdoor theatre, paddling pool, a kowhai seed fountain, a kowhai leaf-shaped viewing platform, and a kowhai flower slide.

“Hopefully a future kiwi reserve! It’s a fresh walk/run through native bush on the edge of Hamilton city. Some sections of the track/bush were 17 years in the making (planted in 2004). 2.6km loop great for a breather or two-loop run. 👍” –Josh King
