Starts at 33 Ocean View Drive, Hillcrest
An easy bushwalk through Stancich Reserve in Hillcrest, on Auckland's North Shore.
A highlight is the large grove of Kahikatea.
Start from Ocean View Road, and follow the concrete path into the bush. The path is a loop so you can walk it in either direction - please keep to the path to protect the native plants.
You'll be walking on level concrete paths and an elevated boardwalk, making this great for a family adventure with small children.
