Beaches, parks and reserves

There are numerous parks and reserves including children’s playgrounds, sports and recreational grounds and local neighbourhood reserves managed by Buller District Council.

Council also provides maintenance and access to beaches, foreshore areas and walkways. West Coast beaches are beautiful to look at but can be dangerous as they’re subject to strong rips, currents and powerful waves. The beaches are not usually patrolled by lifeguards so swimming is at your own risk.

Council contracts out the maintenance work on its popular reserves, walkways and tracks, playgrounds and cemeteries.
