Ashhurst residents can go back to using your water as usual. A big thank you for your patience and efforts to conserve water while we repaired the burst water main. You might notice some discoloured water tomorrow. If you do, please run your cold tap for up to 20 minutes. If it still doesn't run clear, give us a call.
Our team have repaired the leak and restored the drinking water supply. Linton, a huge thanks for your patience and understanding while we got this sorted.
This historic quarry has been raised from a wasteland by a passionate group of residents. Short tracks wind through native wetland before opening into a large meadow.
It's a great spot for dog walking and frog-spotting! And with a newly-installed outdoor gym, it's now the perfect place for an outdoor workout at sunrise.
This park is a brilliant place to walk your dog off-leash. Please be aware though that dogs are prohibited in the sportsgrounds in neighbouring Skoglund Park.
Watch: This short film by Environment Network Manawatū is about the Pit Park People who've made the park what it is today.

The former clay pit is named for Robert Price Edwards (1854-1924), who established his brick-making business here in 1900. In 1904 Edwards started construction of the Hoffman Kiln, a category one heritage building you can still see on Featherston Street. The kiln was capable of firing 9,000 bricks in a single chamber, with clay sourced on-site.
