The Sculpture Park at Waitakaruru Arboretum
Located in the heart of the Waikato, the Sculpture Park at Waitakaruru Arboretum is a 30+ year rehabilitation project that has transformed a derelict quarry. I am fortunate to be a Trustee of the park, and we are excited to offer it as a space for business events to enjoy.
The park provides environmental and creative inspiration for visitors.
The arboretum’s trees are now protected long-term as a permanent forest for carbon sequestration. The park’s botanical biodiversity attracts and sustains a wide variety of native birds including our iconic ruru. The park hosts a population of short-tailed bats (pekapeka).
The park was established more than 30 years ago by its founders John and Dorothy Wakeling whose vision was to rehabilitate a disused quarry situated close to Hamilton and Cambridge and transform it into an arboretum and garden of national significance and a setting for works of art.
