Woodburn Reserve

Tawa, Wellington, New Zealand

Bush walk between Woodburn Drive and Bing Lucas Drive

Beginner

Bike and Foot

This is a new and pleasant track on the northern side of Woodburn Drive, with some linking tracks to Bing Lucas Drive. Houses are still being developed in this area which may affect some of the link tracks in the future. Some of the track are old 4WD routes and are wide.

The start of the track at the bottom of Woodburn Drive requires crossing a small stream, and can be wet and muddy after rain. Some stepping stones have been thoughtfully placed to help, but there is no bridge at the moment so you may get your feet wet.

There are two entrances from Bing Lucas drive. The lower entrance is a 4WD track that has a small patch of asphalt next to a private driveway leading to a newly built house. The descent to the main track is quite steep. For the upper entrance, cyclists and pedestrians are permitted access down the sealed private road near the end of Bing Lucas Drive. The Woodburn Reserve is marked, but from the Bing Lucas Drive entrance there is a strip of grass descending STEEPLY to the main Woodburn Reserve track. Hold on to the fenceposts as you go downhill!

Entrances either at the top or bottom of Woodburn Drive, or from the Bing Lucas link tracks. There are good Woodburn Reserve signs now at the entrances to the walkway.

Bicycles are allowed on this track. Fine on the main track but the link tracks to Bing Lucas Drive are STEEP - you will be walking the bicycle! Horses also permitted.
