Wellington Town Belt Hikes is a walking track network on the Wellington Town Belt, a large band of open space around the inner city. The listing puts its starting point at St Mary Street in Thorndon. The Town Belt reserves include Mount Victoria, which can be reached on foot and gives panoramic views over the city and harbour, and Mount Alfred, which has a network of tracks for walkers, runners and mountain bikers.
Other reserves on the Town Belt include Mount Albert, with views over the Cook Strait, Stellin Memorial Park, which has views over the city and harbour, and Te Ahumairangi Hill at the north-western end. Central Park has bush and formal gardens, and Tanera Park has a dog exercise area. Our view is that it is a good way to walk into the city's green spaces and get high views from Thorndon.
