The route

Good to know

Dogs are allowed here. Keep them on the lead, watch for ground-nesting birds and stock, and read the signs at the gate.

Auckland Council maps this area as dogs allowed at Te Poi / Starling Park. Council zones can be tight, and the bylaw sets its own dog rules inside them, so check the local signs on the day. How we check dog rules.
