Oruaiti Reserve, which was formerly Point Dorset Recreation Reserve, is a steep, undeveloped hillside reserve between Worser Bay and Breaker Bay on the Miramar Peninsula, at the entrance to Wellington Harbour. Its walking tracks climb to a ridge with views over the harbour, and a loop walk can be made along the beach, the coastal track and the ridge. It is owned by the Port Nicholson Block Settlement Trust and run by Wellington City Council. Access is from Breaker Bay, Churchill Park or the Pass of Branda, and the number 2 bus runs to Seatoun or Breaker Bay. There is ample parking at Breaker Bay and Churchill Park, and dogs must be kept on a lead.
From the ridge, the reserve looks out over Barrett Reef, where the inter-island ferry Wahine struck in 1968, and Steeple Rock, where the Wahine capsized. The site of Oruaiti Pā sits on the ridge, and a waka sculpture marks it. Old gun emplacements from Fort Dorset, used by the Defence Force from 1905 until 1957, are also on the reserve. A coastal track leads to the Wahine Memorial at Churchill Park. The reserve's name, Oruaiti, is the Māori name for the pā, and the Wahine story is part of its history.
