The Many Walks Of Wellington Streams - Moturoa

Moturoa Stream is largely piped underground – except in Central Park, where it is a visible and loved feature of the park. This walk will follow the stream and a small tributary through gardens and regenerating forest, passing historic sites and features that tell how the stream has changed with the development of its catchment and the park, including a former dam, landfill and army camp as well as beautification gardens and planting. A moderate level of fitness is required as there is a steep uphill section with steps and some of the tracks are narrow and can be slippery after rain. The walk will begin at the main gates of Central Park on Brooklyn Road (opposite the Central Park Apartments). It is hosted by Friends of Central Park. There will be two sessions held for this walk, one at 10.00am and a second at 12.00pm. Each session will have a 12 person capacity. The reserve day for these walks will be 10 Nov in the event of a weather cancellation on the 9th. All precaution will be taken by the hosts but all participants will be required to sign a health and safety waiver to ensure they can take responsibility for their own safety for the duration of the walk. Children under 16 will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.*Note: Please follow the Facebook page for any updates to the walk including weather postponement.
