The recreation trails are a network of mixed-use paths that link green space throughout Masterton. They are popular with walkers, cyclists, runners, horse riders and dog owners.
The construction programme has been split into different stages. The first four stages are complete and further beautifying work is happening along the Waipoua River bank stretch. This includes native planting and the installation of furniture like solid timber benches and tables.
The paths are mostly made out of lime and some connections use existing pedestrian footpaths.
Where are the Recreation Trails?
The completed trails cover over 10km and include a 1.6km path around Henley Lake, a 2km trail through and around Henley Lake Park Wetlands, a 4km trail network from Fourth Street, stretching through and connecting with Milford Downs and a trail network along the Waipoua Riverbank from Colombo Road to Akura Road, which stretches for 2.4km.
Future planned work includes linking McJorrow Park with River Road and a new trail between Fourth Street, Totara Street and Kitchener Street right through to Gordon Street.
