Parikino is a settlement 24 kilometres (15 mi) upriver from Whanganui, New Zealand; the original pā site was across the Whanganui River.[1]

Parikino was originally a fortified settlement established in 1845 as security against a possible raid by a Ngāti Tūwharetoa taua (war party). The population of about 200 then gradually moved to the unfortified agricultural land across the river.[2] Parikino is home to the Ngāti Hinearo and Ngāti Tuera hapū of the iwi Te Āti Haunui-a-Pāpārangi.[1] The Ngāti Hinearo wharenui is called Te Aroha, and the Ngāti Tuera is Wharewhiti.[3] The meeting house Maranganui Tuarua, 3 km south of Parikino at Pungarehu,[4] was built for Ngāti Tuera by the carver Hōri Pukehika.[1]

Parikino Sports Day, consisting mainly of horseback competitions and family activities, has run every year since 1928; farm chores are traditionally put on hold for the day.[5]

One of New Zealand's most important contemporary photographers Ans Westra took a series of black-and-white photographs of children and teachers at the Parikino Maori School in 1963.[6]

There are three marae in the Parikino area. Parikino Marae and Ko Wharewhiti or Te Aroha meeting house are a meeting place for Ngāti Hinearo and Ngāti Tumango. Ātene or Kakata Marae and Te Rangi-i-heke-iho meeting house are affiliated with Ngāti Hineoneone. Pungarehu Marae and Maranganui Tuarua meeting house are affiliated with Ngāti Tuera.[7][8]
