Hobson Bay Walkway — Attraction in Ōrākei

This is a great 20 minute walk, in either direction, which connects up the shoreline of Hobson Bay from Martin Wilson field to Tinana Wilson beach. The walk itself is flat with the majority of it on a wooden walk way. This is slick and slippy in the wet, so be careful. It is used a lot by other walkers, cyclists and dog walkers. It's very popular. There is a mini water treatment station by the beach. It is possible to walk up it, again be careful in the wet; be aware that the metal covers on top of it become very, very hot in summer. It is possible to burn yourself quite badly, so keep little children under supervision. The beach is nice and is utilised as a launch pad for swimming, paddle boarding and beach combing. The tidal flow does make it a slight challenge to reach the water when low. Overall a fantastic walk with great views near the heart of Remuera. Park up near the field and you...

Another beautiful and well maintained nature walk within an urban environment. Kudos to the Council for keeping these precious...
