Description |
This luscious and extensive park offers has something for everyone, it claims - and that seems to be true: there's a train, and bush walks, and horse-riding and cycling and mountain -bike riding - and it's off-leash for dogs. The only thing it lacks, perhaps, is a cafe. The walks, too, are varied. They explore wetlands and sand dunes, and remnants of native kahikatea forest and grassland and meadow. For a long loop walk, that might take you two hours, take the Old Farm Track from one end to another, then work your way acrss towards the sea and return either on the Coastal or Te Ara o Whareroa trail - or use the latter two to make a loop through the dunes. There really is an abundance of choice. |
