Ahimate Pā is a historic fortified village site, on a grassed mound within Ahimate Reserve on the Manawatū River in Awapuni, Palmerston North. Pā is the Te Reo Māori word for a fortified village. The reserve was formerly known as Waitoetoe Reserve, and the Ahimate Reserve Community works to develop it as a community asset by planting and caring for native trees. The top of the mound now carries several columns with Māori carvings.
Reviewers say you can drive almost all the way up to the site, and that there is a barbecue pit right beside it. One warns to wear sturdy shoes, especially after rain, because the tracks across the grass are passable but uneven. The established paths are clear and accessible for all, according to the same reviewer.
