The Wood is a suburb of the South Island, New Zealand city of Nelson.[3] It lies just to the north-east of the city centre and adjoins it.
The suburb incorporates Botanical Reserve, a section of Nelson's town belt that includes the trigonometrical geographic centre of New Zealand, Botanical Hill.[4] The reserve borders the Botanical Gardens to the east and Branford Park to the west.[5]
The suburb also has four other public reserves: Guppy Park, Neale Park, Peace Grove and Pepper Tree Park.[5]
