About Awatea Reserve
Awatea Reserve - Sign at the Waitoa Street entrance.
This reserve is a combination of open grassed space and bush. It has walkway access to Hobson Bay. The walkway is steep in places and has some steps so may not be suitable for prams or wheelchairs.
The Waitoa Street entrance has a strip of grass over a cliff-facing bush area which leads down to more bush areas. You can also access the reserve from Awatea Road.
