Les Batkin Reserve
Les Batkin Reserve
Les Batkin Reserve sits on the northeast side of Tuakau Bridge along River Road, Tuakau, on the banks of the Waikato River.
The mostly grassed park is one of the best public river-access points on the northern section of the Waikato, and includes a boat ramp with parking.
It's a popular spot for picnics and casual recreation, with children's play equipment including swings, a climbing module, and a slide. The community has also planted fruit trees throughout the reserve.
Toilets and seating are available on site, and a motor camp is located just down the road.
