Paritutu Centennial Park

Fun climb up to the top. It gets steep and you need to pull yourself up with the chain support. I would not recommend climbing during the rain or if you have difficulty climbing on your own. Great views of the surrounding area.

Loved climbing paratutu rock. The views were amazing and everyone that came up were so friendly. I can't wait for the next time i go up.

Nice little park with a lookout on a mountain. But be careful.the last few meters of the climb are tough.

Beautiful park to visit anytime, good for walk, views, easy parking around, stunning sea view walk.

Sorry to say a climb to the top was a little above my ability but had a great rest stop most of the way up.

This park has several entrances, one st the foot of Paritutu rock overlooking the port and the old New Plymouth Power Station site, where you can climb the rock up stairs and a steep rock path assisted at times with chains. The view is spectacular! Other entrances give access to the clifftop bushwalk or Back Beach. The eastern clifftop car park also leads to an awesome steep sand slide to the beach below.

On a sunny day you can see for miles down the coastline. Great place to go for a walk too. Locals go surfing down below.

Driving along Paritutu rd in our motorhome and stopping at some of the many available parking spots, 1 with clean toilets and recycling bins. Very impressed and million dollar views

Once you find the stairs its great to get down to the beach.
Hard work for asthmatic or sore knees, but take your time. It's worth it.
Mostly has handrails

Most Beautyfull sunset in the whole of New Zealand. It's like a magnet! You just have to see it again and again!

The views from the top of Paritutu Rock are so beautiful, definitely worth the climb, highly recommend.
