New Plymouth - So much to see and do!

New Plymouth is the major city of the Taranaki Region.  New Plymouth District includes New Plymouth City (population 52,200) and several smaller towns.

The city is a service centre for the region's principal economic activities including intensive farming, as well as oil, natural gas and petrochemical exploration and production.

New Plymouth is a coastal city with a mountain within 30 minutes drive, where residents and visitors to New Plymouth can snowboard, ski, water ski and surf all in the same day.

Notable features are the parks and gardens, the coastal walkway alongside the Tasman Sea, the Len Lye-designed artwork known as the Wind Wand, and views of Mount Taranaki/Egmont.

New Plymouth won multiple awards as a city.  In 2008, New Plymouth was voted one of best places in the world to live in an environment-based competition endorsed by the United Nations.  The city was then in 2010 chosen as one of two walking & cycling 'Model Communities' by the government.
