Alert - warning
Park closed for pest control from 5pm Wednesday 15 October 2025 until further notice
We have closed the park for extensive pest animal control operations. You should not enter the park as there is a risk to people and pets from this operation.
We are clearing the tracks and roads of 1080 bait so it is safe to visit again. We will let you know when the park is ready to reopen.
Visit How we protect the Hunua Ranges from pests to learn more about the pest control process and view maps of the area.
Visit Our Auckland for an update on the pest control operation.
Email hunuaproject@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz if you have any questions.
Large slip at the top of Cossey Access Track
We have put a detour on the top section of this track due to a large slip.
The track is still open, but please use the road while we work to undertake repairs. Check the signs showing the detour route.
Check for open and closed tracks and help protect our kauri
We have closed large sections of the Hūnua Ranges to prevent the spread of kauri dieback.
When you visit our parks, you need to clean your footwear and equipment to avoid transferring disease from one area to another.
Find open and closed tracks and read about protecting our kauri.
