Leigh Scenic Reserve trackwork gets underway
Fences have now gone up at Leigh Scenic Reserve, Bayview, in preparation for stage 1 of the work to upgrade the tracks to help prevent kauri dieback disease. There will also be 3 shoe-cleaning stations installed.
The project has been split into 5 stages, with stages 1-3 at Leigh Scenic Reserve and stages 4-5 at the Glenfield Coastal Walkway between Lynn Reserve and Manuka Reserve.
During the project, there will be two helicopter drops, during which the Lynn Reserve playground will be temporarily closed.
