Aorangi Forest Park

South Wairarapa District, New Zealand · built 1978

Aorangi Forest Park is a 194-square-kilometre (75 sq mi) protected area in the Wellington Region of New Zealand administered by the Department of Conservation (DOC). It had been called the Haurangi Forest Park but DOC changed to reflect the Māori name of the range protected by the park. The park has six backcountry huts and a recreational hunting area in the park. There is a large herd of wild red deer and dry conditions, making the park a popular destination for deerstalkers. There is also a small number of goats and pigs in the park. The park can be accessed by foot from several local roads, or via private land with the permission of landowners.
