      Urumau reserve, which covers 26 hectares, is located on the prominent lava flow ridge that encloses Lyttelton on its eastern border. It is less rugged than Whakaraupo, the other Lyttelton reserve on the opposite side of town. Urumau is a good place for picnics and walking as well as mountain biking. It is bounded on its northern boundary by a block of land owned by Lyttelton Port Company and on its eastern and southern sides by Sumner Road.

      Considerable work has been done in developing the mountain bike track network by the Lyttelton Mountain Bike Club.
