About Virginia Lake Reserve

A lakeside reserve at 110 Great North Road in Whanganui, with a walk around the lake that takes about half an hour to an hour at an easy pace. Visitors feed ducks and geese, see swans and birds, and mention an aviary, rose gardens and winter gardens. There is a small café by the lake and a playground for children. Dogs are welcome on the walk, and cycling is not part of the path.

One visitor describes it as lovely to walk around, with benches in the sun. Another, with older walkers, says the stairs can be challenging, as there is no handrail on part of the route. The lake is a good place for a leisurely walk.
