There are so many people in our district who quietly contribute to the Community; Pat Kelly and his family have done just that. The Greytown Rail Trail joining Greytown and Featherston is such an enjoyable place, especially on a day like today

Activities Nearby

Dog park

This is a fenced, off-leash dog park on the corner of Cotter and Pierce Streets. It is perfect for your dog to burn off some energy before a walk along the trail, where your dog must be on a lead.

Barr Brown Bush Reserve

The Barr Brown Bush Reserve in Underhill Road is conveniently on the path of the Tauwharenikau Trail in Featherston.

Proposed skatepark

A skatepark has been proposed at the Cotter Steet end of the trail. South Wairarapa District Council plans to start construction in late 2024.

Funding

Apart from a small amount of initial support for seeding the planning phase of the Tauwharenikau Trail, no ratepayer money has been involved in the construction of either trail.
