The route
Good to know
Dogs are allowed here. Watch for ground-nesting birds and stock, and read the signs at the gate.
Wellington City Council maps this area as dogs allowed at Trelissick Park, Ngaio. 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.
Check the water before the dog swims. Toxic algae blooms in NZ rivers and lakes can kill a dog within hours. Scan the LAWA water quality map in warm months and keep dogs away from dark slime on rocks.
