Date announcement
Tony Miguel from Te Whau Pathway Environment Trust has locked it in: Friday 20th March is Opening Day – and we’re buzzing!
There’s still plenty happening behind the scenes between now and then. Amy O’Donnell and Sam Chote from HEB have been walking us through what’s left to tick off — finishing works, final touches, and making sure everything’s ready to roll. It’s a lot… but it’s going to be worth it.
This new connection links Roberts Field with the Northwestern Cycleway. Nearly there, e te Whānau Whau 😅
Opening celebration
Invite from the Henderson-Massey and Whau Local Boards
Friday 20 March 2026 from 12:30-14:30
111 Roberts Rd, Te Atatu South, Auckland 0610, New Zealand
Join us and Te Whau Pathway Environment Trust in celebrating the completion of the first boardwalk section of Te Whau Pathway Project! Bring the whole whānau along and make an afternoon of it—we’ve got you covered with free fun:
• Sausage sizzle
• Ice creams
• Fresh fruit
• Kids’ entertainment
Good times! We look forward to seeing you there. See you on Friday 20th March!
If you would just like to come down to the pathway for a cycle or walk on Friday, please come after 3pm! Then we can be sure that the ribbon-cutting ceremony is over and all final barriers removed!

FAQs
Is the pathway accessible?
Yes. Prams, wheelchairs and elderly will find no steps to get on or off the pathway.
Why isn’t it opening on a weekend?
We know weekends can be easier for lots of people. We’ve chosen a school-day opening so our local schools can be right there in it. Our students have been part of this journey, and it feels right that they get to help celebrate a pathway that’s going to be part of their everyday lives — and everyone else’s! — for years to come.
As soon as the ribbon’s cut on Friday afternoon, it’s yours. Round up a crew, bring your mates or your whānau, and head down when it suits you. Walk it, bike it, scoot it — make it your own.
And remember, this is just the beginning — there’ll be plenty more events to come along Te Whau Pathway.
How far apart is the seating for a rest?
