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.
Want to Help?
Upkeep of the Greytown Rail Trail and the off-road trail sections of the Tauwharenikau Trail is funded through sponsorship and donations and a lot of voluntary effort. The trust organises and manages the Greytown Country Market.
