Pollard Park Loop
Blenheim · Marlborough · Loop
The base walk data and the mapped council zone here read differently, and the council bylaw wins: follow the zone note above and the signs on the day. Route details come from licensed public walk data. Marlborough District Council’s own wording: “"Pollard Park Churchill Glade and Waterlea Gardens: Baden Powell corner grassed area, BBQ picnic areas and the children's playground. Note: dogs are allowed on-leash on the balance of Pollard Park, Churchill Glade and Waterlea Gardens." (Marlborough District Council, dog prohibited areas, Parker Street, Blenheim). On this walk the prohibited pocket is the Parker Street corner where the loop starts and finishes, so keep clear of the playground, the BBQ and picnic lawns and the Baden Powell corner grass there, and stay on-lead around the rest of the loop”. Evidence: the council’s own mapped rule zone. How we check dog rules.
