Shakespear Regional Park (Māori: Te Papa Rēhia ā-Rohe o Shakespear)[2] is a nature park in the Auckland Region of New Zealand. It is located at the tip of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula, and is named after the Shakespear family who first came on to the land when Sir Robert Hamilton purchased 1392 acres on behalf of his grandson, Robert Shakespear, from Ranulph Dacre in 1883.[3][4]
The park includes the Tamaki Leadership Centre, a Royal New Zealand Navy base.[4]
