come on down to harcourt park in upper hutt and enjoy the gardens of isengard. Actual filming took place on this piece of land for lord of the rings fellowship of the ring. re created and turned into a piece of middle earth avid fans can come here and see where the filming took place. although nothing besides the trees remain you can still imagine quite vividly how it would of looked while filming. this place is nice to sit down and enjoy a picnic and maybe if you are a die hard fan you could always dress up as an ork or crazy wizard and shoot your...

Pretty park, but if you're expecting to see isengard, prepare to be disappointed. It is the location where the scene was shot, but it's not anything more than you standard variety local park. The arches that gandolf passes through were cinema magic, and the trees that were uprooted were just two, not a whole forest (which is a good thing, but still, it means this place is just a regular park).

On the right day, this is the best spot in town. Outdoor pool (paddling or toddler/child swimming)' bbq's, modern park for the young and older kids (adults too if you are inclined). Bicycle/scooter park. No skateboard park here. Flying fox, disk hockey and lots of space to roam. Car parks at either the western or eastern car parks. Toilet facilities on site. Top notch. 👍👍👍👍👍...

Lord of the Rings Filming Location: This is where the scenes of Gandalf and Saruman in the gardens of Isengard were filmed. If you’re looking for The Lord of the Rings filming locations, I’ve created a video covering all the filming locations from the first movie. You can find it on my YouTube channel: Loïc J Lopez.

Very nice place. Half an hour drive from The City. The kids loved it. They played in the Mini roads with roundabouts, traffic signs, give-ways. I enjoyed taking photos from the bridge overlooking the river. Highly recommended for a family picnic.

A nice park with pleasant ambiance. I you are coming for the Lord of the Rings connection make sure you know what you are looking for and what to expect. There is nothing here for that other than the location. Still a good visit.
