Harbour walks in Otūmoetai and Matua

Flat paths, open grass and water views. Every walk is matched to your dog's energy and the weather.

Harbour path · I keep dogs on lead

Kulim Park to Fergusson Park

A flat, sealed path along the inner harbour from Kulim Park in Otūmoetai to Fergusson Park in Matua. It's about 3 km there and back, with views across the water to Mauao.

Matua

Fergusson Park

Wide open space and harbour views off Tilby Drive, open from 5.30am to 10pm. A good spot for a sniff around, and a run where off-lead is allowed if your dog's recall is reliable.

On lead at all times

Matua Salt Marsh

Boardwalks, birdlife and harbour views. Council rules say dogs must be on a lead here at all times, and I stick to that.

Rules I follow here

  • No dogs at Otūmoetai Pā Historic Reserve on Levers Road
  • On lead at all times in the Matua Salt Marsh
  • On lead on every footpath, road and grass berm
  • Never within 10 metres of a playground or outdoor exercise equipment
  • Every poo picked up and binned
