A viewing platform over the Turitea Stream in Awapuni, Palmerston North, where visitors can watch eels in the water. The platform sits on He Ara Kotahi, the walking, scooting and cycling route, and the website invites people to stop by while they are out on it. Reviewers mention the foot bridge most often, and the feeding of the eels comes up often too. The walk from the Fitzherbert bridge through to the platform is described as easy and peaceful, although there are steps down to the stream. There is a lookout over the river at the top.
Reviewers call it a fun walk, and one says it is well worth a visit. Two reviewers saw eels in the water on their visit, and one saw one swim away. The walk can be taken at a relaxed pace. Compared with other places on Palmerston North's walkways, it is a short, simple outing that suits a stroll or a bike ride along the route.
