# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Belmont Bunker Walk
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 12:00 am – Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 am
- **Event Description**: Step into history and explore Belmont’s WWII munitions bunkers at Belmont Regional Park.
Join us for a unique opportunity to explore Aotearoa New Zealand’s WWII history at Belmont Regional Park. 

Built in 1943, the Belmont Munitions Depot was once the country’s largest ammunition storage site, chosen for its strategic location near shipping routes and Trentham Military Camp, and its safe distance from populated areas. The depot originally held 62 magazines storing anti-aircraft shells, mortar rounds, grenades, and other munitions—including 1,500 tonnes of mustard gas, believed to be the largest store of chemical weapons in New Zealand. 

This self-led, easy 2.5 km circuit walk follows the well-known Magazine Mile, winding through open farmland with expansive park views. Along the route, historians will be on-site to share stories and insights into Belmont’s vital role in supporting New Zealand and U.S. troops in the Pacific during World War II. 

Walk at your own pace as you explore historic bunkers, uncover wartime secrets, and discover how this quiet landscape helped shape the Pacific war effort. 

Time: 10.00am – 1.00pm 
Meeting point: Belmont Regional Park, Hill Road entrance 

Please note this event is limited to 60 car parks, so we encourage people to carpool where possible. To help us manage car park capacity, each registration is for ONE vehicle only (if you wish to register for more than one vehicle, please complete additional registrations)
