The Friends of Pukekura Park, New Plymouth, Inc. was formed in 1996 with the aim to see the special nature of Pukekura Park maintained and celebrated as unique. We assist the Park staff where appropriate, encouraging the public to enjoy the Park and be involved with activities which are in keeping with the unique natural character of the Park.
The ‘Pukekura Park Portal Project’ was the pilot project for T.E.R:R.A.I.N, a Community Partnership Fund project, which was coordinated by The Friends of Pukekura Park in partnership with Puke Ariki, New Plymouth.
