Trentham Memorial Park is a large park and a major sport and recreation ground in Trentham, a suburb of Upper Hutt, in the Wellington region of New Zealand.
The park was purchased by the Upper Hutt Council from the Barton family (descendants of Richard Barton) in the 1950s as Upper Hutt's Second World War memorial and covers an area of 48ha.[1] [2] It is described by the local council as an attractive setting for sports, carnivals, picnics, playgrounds and bush walks, and lies between Fergusson Drive and the Hutt River.
The Mawaihakona Stream begins at a spring in Trentham Memorial Park and drains the western side of the Hutt Valley from Trentham to Heretaunga. The stream flows into the Hutt River north of the Silverstream bridge.[3] [4]
There is a range of sporting pursuits available in the park including rugby, football, cricket, harriers and an axeman's club.
