This walk comes from licensed public walk data and is being progressively confirmed against the authorities. Signs on the day always win. The rule-setter’s own wording: “Auckland Council's park record for Māngere Mountain puts the park area on-leash at all times. Keep the lead on around the whānau ātea area near the Domain Road entrance, where the play spaces and sports surfaces sit”. Evidence: a hand-checked correction against the authority. How we check dog rules.
