Walkways and cycle trails

Council maintained walkways, mountain-biking and fitness trails.  Also other popular walking tracks and cycling trails.

Whataupoko Park - Langford Fallon Reserve

The park was developed in 2001 after Council purchased the land in 1992.  The reserve was then planted in exotic trees which are now well established.  The mountain bike trails were developed in 2003 by a group of volunteers. There's 7 kilometres of trails. 

Cyclists ride at your own risk, please wear suitable protection. 
Please stay on the tracks.

Most people walk or run the trails. Entrances on Fox Street and Hauroa Road.
