Waitakere: Arguably the main tourist attraction in Waitakere City is the Waitakere Ranges Regional Park, which acts as an inspiration for the city's arts community and the popular Art and Heritage Trail, which links local galleries and artists. Waitakere City's Regional Park offers 250km of walking and tramping tracks and an abundance of other leisure activities including swimming, surfing, fishing, boating, horse riding, running, picnicking, camping, canyoning, sightseeing or simply relaxing. Across the city on the historic Corban Estate, a new arts precinct is growing. The old winery homestead has a complex of art galleries, which focus on local and heritage exhibitions. To complement the already existing art scene are a scattering of small dealer art galleries.
