Forest parks of New Zealand
The forest parks of New Zealand are on public land administered by the Department of Conservation. These are defined as Conservation Parks.

Kaweka Forest Park in New Zealand
Forest parks have a less stringent level of protection than National Parks and they are used for a wide variety of recreational and commercial activities.[1]
Some forest parks have recently been renamed conservation parks, for instance, the former 'Whirinaki Forest Park' which became the 'Whirinaki Te Pua-a-Tāne Conservation Park' in 2010.
