Route and dog-access details for this walk come from the Herenga ā Nuku Aotearoa and the contributing council, licensed CC BY 4.0. The rule-setter’s own wording: “"Dogs must be on a lead in these areas: ... The Maitai walkway, from the river mouth up to the Collingwood St bridge" (Nelson City Council, dog owner responsibilities). This walk sits on that stretch, so the lead stays on for the whole 300 m”. Evidence: a hand-checked correction against the authority. How we check dog rules.
