Coasties looking to spend their holidays exploring the beautiful Wenderholm Regional Park will have to make other plans, as the park closes temporarily from today (Thursday, 26 December).

The closure comes after an issue with the park's water supply left toilet and water facilities out of order.

Council officials are working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.

"We hope to reopen the park to visitors as soon as possible," said a council spokesperson.

In the meantime, visitors can explore other regional parks and beaches in the region.

Some popular alternatives include:

• Shakespear Regional Park
• Tawharanui Regional Park
• Mahurangi Regional Park

These parks offer stunning coastal scenery, walking trails, and picnic areas perfect for a family day out.

The council will provide updates on the status of Wenderholm Regional Park's reopening.
