Mangaone Stream Shared Pathway
Strap on your helmet or get your walking shoes on and follow this easy, dog-friendly pathway alongside the Mangaone Stream. It stretches from Tōtara Road all the way through to Milson Line and Flygers Line.
Depending on what type of walk or ride you're looking to do, you could be cruising anywhere from 0.4km to 11km. The stream connects to the Manawatū River and used to be a hotspot for kai for local iwi, Rangitāne.
Although you can walk the stop banks on both sides, the formed path switches sides at Amberley Avenue. This path is great for short walks or as part of a full city loop.
There are toilets at Bill Brown Park and Milson Shopping Centre, and underpasses at most main road crossings.
