Trelissick Park - Ngaio Gorge Track

A narrow valley, once a route north out of Wellington for Maoris and Europeans is now a wilderness walking track following the Kaiwharawhara stream. The efforts of a working group planting thousands of trees, removing weeds, and erecting bridges have created a natural area for recreation very close to and yet removed from the City. At its inland (western) end the Gorge Track meets up with and becomes part of the Northern Walkway. Features of interest include an historic explosive magazine dating from 1879 and fish ladders.

Access to the park is from several entrances off the Ngaio Gorge Road. Bus routes 43 and 45 travel up the Gorge.

There is also a Wadestown entrance on Hanover Street.

theSanctuary to Sea walking track passes through the park.
