Pakuranga Rotary walkway and cycleway

The Pakuranga Rotary Walkway currently extends to Pigeon Mountain, along the Tamaki Estuary and Whakaaranga Creek.  It is a safe cycling, jogging and walking route. The walkway is paved and relatively flat, making it suitable for wheelchairs, pushchairs and a range of fitness levels. The walkway stretches over 5km with a return trip taking around 2 hours and 45 minutes.
