Walking Time: 15 minutes return A quiet picnic spot , this small reserve is located on Ainsworth Road, off State Highway 2, just north of Te Puna. A feature of the reserve is the small pond frequented by a variety of waterfowl. Beyond a gate, a grassy accessway leads to a short bush walk. This track meanders along beside a small stream through regenerating coastal forest dominated by rewarewa and mamaku tree ferns. After crossing the stream, the track doubles back then climbs to a pleasant open area that leads back to the starting point.
