Pukekura Park
There are multiple roads to access Pukekura Park. From the city centre, follow Liardet Street all the way to the end.
Easily accessible from the city centre of New Plymouth, Pukekura Park is not just your average city domain. Take your pick of multiple tracks through native and exotic trees to lookouts over lakes, water fountains, and check out more gardens to explore below. The park is very photogenic with its red footbridges, waterfall and waterwheel.

Surf
Fitzroy Beach is at the end of Beach Road on the east side of the city. Back Beach has multiple car parks along the Surf Highway 45 just past Paritutu Rock.
The expense of this activity really depends on how well equipped you are. Some hostels in New Plymouth have free surfboard hire depending on availability, while wetsuit and board hire is usually around the NZ$30-40 mark. But you just can’t put a price on the famous surf beaches of New Plymouth. Check out Fitzroy Beach and Back Beach, or travel out of the city and find a ton of surf beaches along Surf Highway 45.

Climb Paritutu Rock
Just look at that big rock and walk towards it. There is a car park for the rock at the end of Paritutu Road.
See that big rock at the end of the city? Don’t you just want to climb it? Well, you can! There’s a 15-minute walk right to the top of Paritutu Rock with unmatched views of the Sugar Loaf Islands, New Plymouth, Mt Taranaki and even the central North Island volcanoes of Mt Ruapehu, Mt Tongariro and Mt Ngauruhoe. Be prepared for a super steep climb to the top of the rock (which is more like a rock climb holding onto a chain fence).
