Walkway Map

Bothamley Park Walkway is an easy trail along Kenepuru Stream. The gentle gradient makes it perfect for families, buggies, bikes, and wheelchair users. 

The trail is mostly a 3-metre wide gravel track. It goes through regenerated bush and pine forests, with access paths down to the stream. The trail has plenty of seats to stop at along the way. 

At the northern end of the trail, follow the signs to Ascot Park playground - a great place for a break. The playground was upgraded in 2021 and includes a double flying fox, a big slide, toilets and picnic tables.

This is an in/out track so you can walk as far as you want before returning to your start point. The trail has many entry points that connect to the surrounding suburbs.
