Connecting West Auckland communities one boardwalk and one park at a time
Te Whau Pathway boardwalks in Te Atatū South are now finished and ready for you to enjoy.
There are also several Te Whau Pathway sections through local parks along the Whau River that are already complete and open for walking and cycling.
You can also explore a number of local walks that include parts of Te Whau Pathway, including:
- The Kelston Loop – connecting Brains Park, Onewherowhero Park and Archibald Park
- The Olympic Park Walk in New Lynn – a great short outing
Many of the land-based Te Whau Pathway sections are already in place. The next big step is connecting these with boardwalks to create a continuous chain of paths and parks stretching from Green Bay on the Manukau Harbour to Te Atatū South on the Waitematā Harbour, forming a green corridor for both people and wildlife.
The pathway is growing steadily as funding becomes available. It won’t happen overnight — but it will happen!
Te Whau Pathway Environment Trust is working hard to secure the funding needed to complete the entire route. You can help too — check out the Trust’s post to find out how you can support the Te Whau Pathway project.
