Sledge Track is a walking track off Kahuterawa Road, Linton, near Palmerston North, rated 4.7 from 153 Google reviews. Palmerston North City Council lists it on its walks and walkways pages under the Sledge Track and Hardings Park loops.
A good walking track is well marked, with clear signs at junctions and an honest guide to how long it takes and how steep it is. Before you set out, check the council page for current conditions and any closures, since bush and farmland tracks can be muddy or slippery after rain. Sturdy shoes, a rain layer and water are sensible even on a short loop, and it helps to tell someone where you are going, because phone coverage in the hills can be patchy. Regulars know that early morning or late afternoon walks are often quieter, and that leaving the track as you found it, taking your rubbish home, keeps it pleasant for the next walker.
For a loop walk on Palmerston North's edge, Sledge Track on Kahuterawa Road is a good option.
