A breathtaking regional park in the Tararua foothills, beloved by Wellington dog walkers seeking a proper bush escape. Dogs are welcome on leads through native forest trails and along the Hutt River. The swing bridge walk is a favourite, winding through rimu and fern-lined paths past crystal-clear river pools — a must-do for adventurous dogs and their owners.

Magical park for dogs and humans. My border collie was in his element on the forest trails. The swing bridge is a highlight — stunning river scenery.

The best dog walk near Wellington. Quiet, lush forest, river access and well-maintained tracks. Dogs must be on leash but the scenery makes it worthwhile.

Drove 40 minutes from Wellington and it was absolutely worth it. Stunning native bush, a beautiful river and my dog had the best day of his life.
