Gifted to the city in 1936 and currently maintained by New Plymouth District Council, Burgess Park is a scenic reserve consisting of one hectare of grounds and 4 hectares of native bush.
In a lovely riverside setting, there is a short 15 minute walkway that takes you past the original Hapurunui Pa site from where you can enjoy stunning views of the Waiwhakaiho River. The park is also popular with families enjoying a spot of fresh air at the weekends.
Originally housing the historic Burgess House, the building was recently purchased and moved to another location.

Reviews
When I think of spring, it always reminds me of packing up picnics and taking them to places with beautiful scenery with your loved ones. Burgess Park is a perfect example of this. Settled on four acres of native New Zealand bush, who wouldn’t want to be enclosed by these beautiful surroundings? It’s located on Junction Road heading out towards Inglewood so it’s hardly a chore to get there and the atmosphere is so worth it. You feel like you can really breathe that fresh air with all the trees around you.
