Queen Elizabeth Park is a Wellington Regional Park located on the Kapiti Coast in New Zealand. The park contains the last area of natural dunes on the Kapiti Coast. The park is steeped in history including pa sites at Whareroa Beach and Wainui Beach. During World War II, the park was the location of two United States Army and Marines bases, Camp MacKay and Camp Russell. U.S. troops were stationed at the camps in 1942–44 prior to being sent into combat in the Pacific Ocean theatre. Today, little evidence of the 20,000 strong US military camps remains. The park was named for Queen Elizabeth II before her coronation and was opened during the 1953 Royal Visit. Many recreation facilities were developed in the 1950s and 1960s, including the campground and Wellington Tramway Museum. The park is bordered by Paekakariki, Raumati South, State Highway One, and the North Island Main Trunk Railway. Entrances are near the bridge of State Highway One over the railway and in Raumati South and Paekakariki. The tangata whenua of the park are Ngati Haumia, a hapu of the Ngāti Toa iwi and Te Atiawa ki Whakarongotai. Several expansive lawn areas near Whareroa Beach and the southern entrance at Paekakariki provide plenty of space for picnics and recreational activities. Public toilets are located at the car parks at the end of the road to Whareroa Beach, and near the playground and car parks at the Paekakariki entrance. A coastal walkway and an inland walkway run the length of Queen Elizabeth Park from Raumati South to Paekakariki. Near the main entrance, a loop walkway leads through a wetland area and bush remnant with mature kahikatea.

Yesterday - Day 70 -

Tomorrow – Day 72 –

About this video:

Today we are checking out an awesome free thing to do on the Kapiti Coast, walking in Queen Elizabeth Park. We head to Queen Elizabeth Park in Kapiti which is just off the main highway in New Zealand to walks through rolling sand dunes with regenerating vegetation on them.

Along the sand dunes in Queen Elizabeth Park in Kapiti is a long stretching beach with awesome views of Kapiti Island out to sea. We head down to the beach to capture some photos and get some awesome views around Queen Elizabeth Park on the Kapiti Coast.

After struggling our way back up onto the sand dunes in Queen Elizabeth Park, we continue on the loop back around to the start with our shoes full of sand but still feeling epic after our walk in Queen Elizabeth Park in Kapiti.

Our day ends with a barbeque back at Moana Lodge in Plimmerton where we are staying for a couple of days as we explore the Kapiti Coast and the Wellington suburbs.

So what do you think of Queen Elizabeth Park on the Kapiti Coast? Is Queen Elizabeth Park somewhere you would stop off on your way to Wellington?

Fat Bike fun riding the Northern Loop - Queen Elizabeth Park, Kapiti Coast NZ

Fat Bike fun riding the Northern Loop - Queen Elizabeth Park, Kapiti Coast NZ

With the New Zealand Winter well and truly settling, finding time to hit the trails are few and far between. Thankfully there was a gap in the weather for one afternoon ride last weekend and I seized the opportunity to finish off the Northern Coastal track at Queen Elizabeth Park.

The Northern Loop follows the coastal track to Raumati then comes back via Te Ara o Whareroa (the inland link track) back to Queen Elizabeth Park. However, on this occasion, I took advantage of the fat bike and looped back via the beach.

Like the Southern Loop, its Northern companion is a multi-purpose track which is well used by dog walkers, runners and other cyclists. Although today kept all but the very keen indoors.

A fun trail best done as one super loop (North and South) and a good one to do with company. If you visit on a fine day, you will be rewarded with spectacular views of both Kapiti and the South Island and you always have the beach option back if the weather and tides permit. Had a blast and will be back in the future once the weather clears up! ❤????

Running the Southern Coastal Loop on the Electric Fat Bike - Queen Elizabeth Park, Paekakariki NZ

Last time I was here, the bike was not electric and I was still pedaling frantically to get trails done as quickly as possible (in many cases, to beat the rain). However, we got some good weather today and there were a few new things I wanted to try out, which included recording the trails in 4K.

Although the Go Pro had no problems recording in 4K, my 5 year old PC had problems processing the file sizes and this resulted in me downgrading them to 1080p (what you see here). I definitely think there is value moving to 4K especially in a country like New Zealand, where trails and natural wonders are everywhere.

I also decided to take a new direction and show the whole trail not just a jump-cut video timed to music, which I have done previously. Removing the background music and the associated cuts means I can produce videos quicker and show the trail in its entirety. I've also added some comments about the trail, my bike and the ride as I go along so you get to know me a little better.

This is the first run on the Southern Loop since I went electric and suffice to say, I smashed all my personal bests on Strava by almost half (yes I know bike and e-bike times are recorded separately on Strava) but when you cut times by almost a half, you have to be impressed.

I am always looking to up my game and have got more gear coming to make my videos even more compelling and engaging but I would love your feedback on this. Please comment below - I look forward to reading your thoughts!
