The 10 Best Outdoor Activities in Port Moresby, Papua Region
Port Moresby (/ˌpɔːrt ˈmɔːrzbi/; Tok Pisin: Pot Mosbi), also referred to as Pom City or simply Moresby, is the capital and largest city of Papua New Guinea and the largest city in the South Pacific outside of Australia and New Zealand. It is located on the shores of the Gulf of Papua, on the south-western coast of the Papuan Peninsula of the island of New Guinea. The city emerged as a trade centre in the second half of the 19th century. During World War II it was a prime objective for conquest by the Imperial Japanese forces during 1942–43 as a staging point and air base to cut off Australia from Southeast Asia and the Americas.

The only park/forest type recreational facility within the city limits, the former botanical gardens offer rain forest, picknick areas as well as wildlife that has mostly been rescued, such as tree kangaroos and other endemic animals and birds. There are efforts underway to breed the endangered pig-nosed turtle. Some have already been released back into their natural habitats. A must visit if you pass through Port Moresby.

Whilst a little way out of Port Moresby it is worth the trip to this Park. Entry to the main park is free and this allows you to walk the extensive grounds and view the numerous animal enclosures. For just a few Kina you can visit the magnificent Orchid Gardens (outstanding) and the exotic birds enclosure. If you have kids there is also a water slide, play area and Ferris wheel. A great attraction
