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 record for Michaels Avenue Reserve is mixed and precise: off-leash applies to the southern end of the reserve only, dogs are prohibited on all sports surfaces and the playground, and must be on-leash near any sports surface in use and near the playground. For the loop around the fields, that means a lead”. Evidence: a hand-checked correction against the authority. How we check dog rules.
