Poutoa Reserve

Take a stroll through this wonderful gully and get away from the stresses of city life. This is a dog exercise area, where you can walk your pooch off-leash.

Poutoa Walkway has many entrances. Walk the whole thing or just sections of it. It also links to Titoki Walkway, part of our Green Corridors network.

Parks and playgrounds at Alert Level 2

All parks and playgrounds are open again, including skate parks, basketball courts, and the dog park at Ahimate Reserve. It's OK to let your dog off-leash again but people should still maintain physical distance.
