Kauri Glen Reserve & Cecil Eady Reserve tracks update

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

This map shows the status of all of the tracks in Kauri Glen Reserve & Cecil Eady Reserve as we head into the summer break 🌳🌞
The track colours mean:
* 🟩 Green: Open (please use the shoe-cleaning stations)
* 🟨 Yellow: Temporarily closed for upgrading
* 🟥 Red: Closed

The tracks from Tui Glen Road and Raymond Terrace that had been temporarily closed and were due to open now, have been assessed and found to be in poor condition with many vulnerable kauri roots, so they will instead remain closed until their scheduled upgrade has been completed. That upgrade will begin in September/October 2021 and take 12 months to finish. It will include an aerial boardwalk/bridge that will be worth the wait :)
Please remember to use the provided shoe-cleaning stations, and please do not go into any areas that are fenced off. Cameras are in place due to on-going vandalism 📸 :(
Please also wash dog paws 🐾 with the provided water. Dogs are allowed off-leash at Kauri Glen Reserve/Cecil Eady Reserve, but must be under control (eg: voice control) at all times, and please stick to the tracks as dogs can also spread kauri dieback spores.

Kauri Glen Reserve treetop bridge and boardwalk now open!

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

NEWSFLASH: The wait is over and the Kauri Glen Reserve treetop bridge and boardwalk is NOW OPEN to the public! Check it out!

And please join us for our official opening/celebration in a couple of weeks!
➡️ When: 12pm Sunday 28 April
➡️ Where: Kauri Glen Road entrance to Kauri Glen Reserve
➡️ Facebook event: www.facebook.com...
Free BBQ! Walk the new track!

This is a new step-free route between Kauri Glen Road and Tui Glen Road, with a refurbished track (including steps) to Raymond Terrace. The new bridge is around 6 storeys high with a very impressive view of the forest tree tops.
The new tracks, bridge and boardwalk have been built to a standard to help prevent the spread of kauri dieback disease, which is especially important in this park.
*** Please always clean your shoes, bikes, prams and wheelchairs at the stations. ***

Note: We made the decision to allow public access earlier than expected to prevent further damage to the forest by those who were throwing the fences into the trees 🙁
