About Didsbury Art Trail

Didsbury Art Trail is a free, self-guided sculpture walk at Hobsonville Point, Waitakere City, rated 4.5 on Google. The trail is listed at 5 Boundary Road, Hobsonville. The website describes a walk through restored historic buildings, coastline, parks and new architecture, with free public artworks. It names the Forest Floor playground, a set of giant steel seedpods and nests, and Estuarine, a sculpture on the gabion wall leading to Catalina Bay. It also tells the stories of the historic air force buildings and the area's development. Public art trails are best enjoyed slowly, with time to read the signs and walk the coast, and a light jacket is useful on breezy sections. For visitors to Hobsonville Point, the Didsbury Art Trail is a relaxed way to see public art by the water and learn about the area's history.
