Beautiful AH Reed Memorial Park is named after the famous author, publisher and long distance walker of the same name.� The site of his parents' homestead is on the opposite side of Clapham Rd from the park's upper carpark.� AH (as he was always known) was a significant player in protecting the waterfall from quarrying and retaining the magnificent kauri trees in this forest area.

The bush is a wonderful remnant of the original extensive kauri forests here. AH - an incredible long-distance walker well into his 80s - would have been proud of the short walks taking visitors through it and up to the 23.8m high falls and of the canopy walkway over the Wai Koromiko Stream.
