   Bring your pooch to Waiatarua Reserve, rain or shine. Popular off leash dog park , roughly 4000 steps , one round, metalled and bush walk to enjoy. Ponds for dogs to wade or dive into , plenty of parking , friendly walkers , good mix of dogs for your dog to socialise with and a hose to clean them up before jumping in your car.

   Amazing park. Love to take the dog here. Carpark near the men's shed has a hose to wash off the dog after playing in the ponds.

   Beautiful spot with plenty of open spaces, walking tracks, and scenic views. A great place for a peaceful stroll or a family outing. However, if you’re afraid of dogs, this may not be the best place for you, as it’s very popular with dog owners and their furry friends often roam freely. For dog lovers, it’s a fantastic place to enjoy some off-leash fun!

   I got out of my car and was almost immediately greeted by a friendly dog. This place is very popular with dog walkers, so is a great place to go if you want to take yours, or just meet some. It is a little more pleasant in the summer, rather than the blustery winter day I visited on, but it's a nice walk with wetlands and native plants everywhere.

   A massive walking/running:cycling nature reserve and plenty of space for dog walking too. Love that there’s a swimming hole under the bridge that our dog loves! There is a stick library there and a forest walk that will make your doggy walk interesting too. A great place for dogs to be social as well. There is also a hose in the very nice car park where you can give your furby a drink or wash him down if they get dirty. Lots to see here and very uplifting - fresh air and nature, a duck pond and lots of areas for your dog to run and play. It’s our boys most favourite place since he was a puppy. One thing that stands out is how friendly other dog owners are too.

   Great for dog walks/walks in general. Definitely need boots on wet conditions as some of the path has been sloshed in mud.

   This is a fantastic please to take your dog off lead. A small walking loop that is flat. Warning: You may need gumboots after a heavy rain or just cut your walk short.

   Went for a stroll through the dog friendly Waiatarua Reserve this morning and had a great time, so many happy four legged friends around for my dog Ziggy to meet and greet, there are some great tracks to walk around and we even found this playground which had a basketball hoop and skate ramp! Will be back here for sure. James Ashwin Kakapo Business Sales

   It's a great place to take a dog for a walk of leash. The loop is a nice walk and there are a few side tracks as well. In wet times there are lots of mud puddles, so if you don't want a dirty dog after your walk, maybe pass on this wetland. There is a pond setup for dog swimming as well as part or the loop.

   Great off-leash Park for walking your dog. My dog just loves this park and starts crying with excitement about half a kilometre before we get there because she loves it THAT much! Also lovely to see the variety of birds - ducks, black swans and herons at ground level and tūī, kākāriki and fantails flying in and out of trees!
