A private dog park beside the Takapu Stream in Tawa, booked by the hour for one dog at a time, with no other dogs or people in the park. The website describes a large natural river flat with varied terrain, a couple of small swimming holes and picnic tables beside the stream. Bookings are made online, and each booking is followed by a 30-minute buffer, so the website asks guests not to arrive early. Weekend and holiday bookings are charged at a different rate. The site asks that dogs do not bark excessively, that poo is picked up, and that leads stay on outside the paddock, and it says aggressive dogs, including pit bull types, are not a good fit. Parking is inside the road gate, and cell coverage is poor in the lower valley. The park is at 343 Takapu Road, Tawa.
