Taitua Arboretum

great place for a walk, lots of cool trees and ponds, and a lot of chickens and ducks wandering around. There's also a toilet in the carpark.

Relaxing and easy walk! You get to enjoy different species of plants and heaps of ducks and chickens.

Great walk with ponds and bridges, scenery is good, nice place for family picnic, there are short and small walks with maps on the walk helps with directions

One of my favourite spots to walk, always clean and easy to walk through, can 100% make up your own pathway. This to me is worth the drive Dog friendly, child friendly, chicken friendly

I went for the first time with a friend on the weekend and we were so impressed with this arboretum. Beautiful walks through bush, bamboo and trees of multiple varieties including native, fruit and nut trees. Add ponds with resident ducks, native birds, friendly peahens and chickens and we have a magical place.

Beautiful trees, walking tracks and free chickens that will accompany you. Dogs allowed on lead and lots of places to rest. Recommend for the ambience and the environment. Take a friend.

I went on Sunday 28 August 2022, with my daughter, and three year old granddaughter. I had never been before, and I was so stunned by the beauty, and complete natural way that it was left to its own devices.The hens, roosters, and ducks, were so cute, and friendly, and my granddaughter was delighted.We walked slowly, and tried to take in everything, which was quite difficult, because there was so much to see. But sitting by one of the small ponds, was so tranquil, and very peaceful. The perfect place to get away from a fast paced city.I truly loved it, and having come from a rural setting not too long ago, it was like a haven. I think that it is a huge plus for Hamilton, and the Waikato in general. I'm definitely going again.

Great little park. Takes about 1-1.5hours. Plenty of seating and table and chairs scattered around the walk including little covered over shelters. Chicken and ducks are common sight with a few cows. Some lovely grassy areas near the start very suitable for a picnic. A few maps around the place to help are it can get a bit disorientating. One suggestion would be slightly more signage to inform people about varied areas and trees.
