Originally started by John and Bunny Mortimer in 1973, the arboretum was created with the intention of offering shelter and shade to the local wildlife.

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