Conservation park is a type of specially protected land status held by the Crown in New Zealand for conservation purposes. The status is established under the Conservation Act 1987 and the parks are administered by the Department of Conservation (DoC).
As of September 2020, there were 54 conservation parks in New Zealand (including 36 forest parks), covering an area of 2,690,191 hectares.
Forest parks
Forest parks have a less stringent level of protection than national parks and are used for a wide variety of recreational and commercial activities.
Some forest parks have recently been renamed conservation parks, for instance, the former 'Whirinaki Forest Park' which became the Whirinaki Te Pua-a-Tāne Conservation Park in 2010.
Other conservation parks
There are 18 other conservation parks in New Zealand.
The Sugar Loaf Islands Sanctuary is privately owned.
