Anzac Park Walkway

Breathtaking views over Palmerston North greet you at the entrance to this short walk. Explore further for a journey through established native bush and back through a scattering of pines.

A rāhui has been placed over Te Āpiti - Manawatū Gorge walking track following a sudden death at the western end on Wednesday 24 May. The rāhui covers the entire reserve and will be in place until 22 June.

A rāhui is a restriction or prohibition on an area following an incident, such as a death, to honour the deceased, provide spiritual protection to anyone who would enter the space unknowingly and allows the area to regenerate its mauri or life force.
