Te Onepoto Loop Track
Porirua · Wellington · Loop
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: “Dogs welcome but must be under control at all times and on the lead in Onehunga Bay which is popular with picnickers and family, and around the coast where little blue penguins nest (Greater Wellington, Whitireia Park). This walk runs the park coastline and passes the Onehunga Bay and Te Onepoto Bay shores, so carry the lead and use it there”. Evidence: the rule-setter’s own published wording. How we check dog rules.
Good to know
