About Tūī Glen Reserve
Located close to the heart of Henderson town centre and incorporating the Henderson Creek Walkway, this large park is a hidden treasure.
It is named for the large number of tūī that fed on the kōwhai nectar of the stream banks original vegetation, and is a rolling landscape of open space, large trees, and history.
The reserve was registered as the first camping ground in the county in 1925. It contains ten historic buildings including the Manuka Shade Cabin, an excellent example of a simple colonial cottage.

A playground, flying fox, accessible toilets, seating and picnic tables, car parks (including mobility parks), jetty, and a barbecue are inside the park.
