About Beerescourt Park
Beerescourt Park sits on a small hill in the Beerescourt suburb of Hamilton. The park provides a simple green space with paths that lead to a trig station at the summit, offering views across nearby homes and streets. Large oak trees and agapanthus plantings add seasonal interest along the routes.
The park is maintained by Hamilton City Council and is listed among the city’s neighbourhood parks. It supports casual walking and family outings without dedicated sports fields or playground equipment. Visitors can use the open grass areas for informal play or relaxation on the provided benches.
Its elevated position and dual access points make it easy to reach on foot or by bike from surrounding streets. The park contributes to local biodiversity through its plantings and serves as a quiet retreat within the urban setting.

Event organisers must apply for a permit through Hamilton City Council when planning activities that involve amplified sound, inflatables, food sales or structures.
History and Naming
The suburb and park take their name from Captain G. B. Beere, who received a land grant in the area following the New Zealand Wars in the 1860s. Beere established a fort on the land, linking the park to early European settlement history in the Waikato region.
