The Oku Street Reserve is a park in Wellington, New Zealand.^[1] It is located on a promontory between the suburbs of Island Bay and Ōwhiro Bay, and looks down over Taputeranga Marine Reserve and Ōwhiro Bay. It comprises two small hills with a ridge between them, and has a path and several benches, with two public access points.

Wellington's City to Sea Walkway passes along Oku Street in Island Bay and traverses the reserve before continuing down Severn Street in Ōwhiro Bay. The park has a path in the middle with some offshoots, and has stairs on either side. It is not wheelchair accessible.

Oku Street Reserve contains several species of endemic flora, such as taupata, koromiko, and tarata. It also is home to a few relict specimens of Cook Strait mahōe, which only grow on either side of the Cook Strait.^[2]
