About
The breathtaking views and bush-clad valleys of Belmont Regional Park make it a favourite open space for picnics, walking, running, mountain biking and horse riding. Located in the hill country between Porirua and the Hutt Valley, the park features the historic Korokoro Dam, Pareaho Pa, World War II ammunition stores and the original main coach road from Wellington. Climb to the trig, enjoy sweeping views over Porirua Harbour, the Lower Hutt valley and the remnants of ancient boulder block fields.
At Dry Creek, campers can enjoy basic facilities with toilets and drinking water. Dogs are welcome but not in the farmed areas of the park. The Old Morton Dam has toilets and the lower dam has an open grassy area, ideal for picnics, accessible by wheelchair and baby buggies.
Park notices
Work on the Korokoro Dam Lookout
The Korokoro Dam Lookout in Belmont Regional Park is closed from the 11th of February for around four weeks while work begins to bring the lookout up to current standards. This will include fixing the timber and guard rail of the lookout. You will still be able to access the loop track, but will not be able to use the lookout at the dam. This work will ensure that visitors can continue to safely access this lookout in the future.
Entrance closure due to tree fall - Wednesday 28 Nov 2018
Unfortunately, the Normandale Road entrance (also known as the Old Coach Road entrance) to Belmont Regional Park is closed due to a tree having fallen. It is expected the entrance will remain closed for several days while work is done to clear the fallen tree. The next closest entrances are Stratton Street or Hill Road.
