James McGregor Memorial Park

James McGregor Memorial Park is a beautiful attraction located at the southern end of Kowhai Park in Whanganui East, within walking distance of the CBD.

This park contains an arboretum with a collection of trees dating back to 1917. It is a gorgeous riverside park where you can walk among large trees or enjoy the tranquility of sitting at the picnic tables. 

Work to extend the range of trees in the arboretum is ongoing. The work at this park has been completed with funding from Eleanor Burgess Trust, the Whanganui Beautifying Society and the support of the Rotary Club of Whanganui, in consultation with Whanganui District Council.
