Set alongside the water between Napier and Hastings, this regional park is dedicated to dog owners and their pets. Dedicated dog parks rely on plenty of room and natural boundaries so dogs can explore safely off the leash, and having streams meandering through the open grounds gives water-loving dogs a dedicated place to paddle and swim. Walking tracks wind under mature shade trees and follow the water edges, with bridges crossing the streams and wide lawns suited for exercising energetic dogs.
Benches and waste facilities are placed along the trails, and the flat paths suit strollers, walking frames, and family outings alongside dog walking. Located on Pakowhai Road in Pakowhai, right by Tomoana, it sits conveniently midway for visitors travelling from either Hastings or Napier. Our pick in the Hastings area for giving your dog a scenic off-leash run and a swim.
