Lovely dog park. Close enough to town but hemmed in by some small hills and you can see the coast, giving it a bit of a wild feel. You can do the nice flat loop at the bottom, where there are always lots of nice dogs to socialize with, or take one of the hill tracks for more of a leg day. However, if you don't like the idea of a park with dirt, puddles and bush for your doggo to go wizzing through - this is not the park for you. Pair your visit with a trip to the dump shop, just across the valley, to do some dropping off/decluttering and then some shopping/recluttering! Perfect.

Great place to throw a ball for your pups, have a decent walk off-lead with hills and interesting places to sniff, always fun.

Beautiful area to talk your dog for a walk, the conservation volunteers NZ nursery is here too and lots of native planting is being done. This area will only get better over time.

If you have a dog this will be heaven for them. Natural walk with good tracks not fenced off though so only for dogs with good recall. Water fountain at the start for humans and at the bottom bowl for the dogs

Great walk options. We took the yellow loop walk which was a lovely morning exercise. Just wish that dog owners would follow the dog on leads only rules, through the bush walks, for the safety of their dogs and everyone else using the tracks.

Excellent dog park. Got some interesting short walks but also longer walks that link to the Southern Walkway. Can get muddy on the upper loop track so bring appropriate footwear. Always manage to bump into some very friendly local dog owners.

Awesome exercise area for Dogs. They can run free in the bushes playing in paddles of water, dirt, playing with other dogs. Cool place for them. Absolutely recommended. Make sure your dog is friendly enough to be able to run free.
