Sprawling across 16,000 hectares, Waitakere Ranges in Auckland offer 250 kilometers of walking trails, four cascading waterfalls, picnic spots and opportunities for angling and swimming. Features of Waitakere Ranges in Auckland: - You can collect invaluable information about features, facilities, ecological and other preservation issues of the park.
