Pukete is a 1970s riverside suburb in northwestern Hamilton in New Zealand. The cobblestoned walk in the park has a grass dog exercise area. The riverside walkway, which includes many pedestrian bridges, can be used by walkers or cyclists, but the lower sections are subject to flooding in winter. A pedestrian bridge links Braithwaite Park to Flagstaff on the eastern side of the Waikato River. A 2015 River Plan proposed it become 'a flower garden bridge'. Four-laning of the Pukete Bridge was completed in Easter 2013, well ahead of schedule due to the long dry summer.
