Brooklyn is a settlement and rural valley in the Tasman District of New Zealand's upper South Island.[1] It is located on the outskirts of Motueka, and is dominated by orchards.[2]
The Brooklyn Recreation Reserve, a flat, 4.6 ha grassed reserve, was donated to Tasman District Council in 1984. It includes remnants of lowland forest the council has deemed "significant", including a hillside of tawhai rauriki or black beech and regenerating native forest dominated by kānuka. The reserve has had limited weeds and no outbreak of wild pigs.[1]
Brooklyn is connected to Woodstock by a cycling trail. In 2018, Tourism Minister Kelvin Davis announced funding to upgrade the trail.[3]
The Blue Gum corner of Motueka River, just outside the village, is a river swimming spot.[4]
