This walkway closed on 28 October 2025 and will stay closed for six weeks until around mid-December.
During this time, we will install temporary structural support to make the walkway safe to reopen. These supports will keep the walkway wall stable and allow safe access to the public until we develop a permanent fix. This will take about six months.
For the long term, the coastal management team is looking at other possible public access routes for the walkway. We expect to provide an update on these options in December 2025.
This walkway runs around the edge of the water of the Tāmaki Estuary and Whakaaranga Creek.
You can walk, jog or cycle on this path.
Along the way, you can see extensive views up and down the Tāmaki River, layers of ash, peat and ignimbrite, wetland areas, and features of historic and cultural significance.
Bicycles are permitted but need to share the walkway with pedestrians. If you are riding a bike, please give way to walkers and watch out for blind corners.
