Please replace with much care for the integrity of the hide. Thanks. This is a wonderful place to walk and enjoy nature’s surroundings. Listen to the Tui’s in the trees and see the ducks swimming in and out of the ponds. Parking Co-ords are given. Keep hold of little children due to road near by, trucks often use this. Bring some bread to feed the Ducks. PLEASE be careful of vegetation!
The recently opened Chelsea Heritage Park combines a relaxing walk through bush and grassed areas with glorious views across the inner harbour to the Auckland city centre. The main entrances for the walks are at the top end of Colonial Road as it enters the park, and from the main Chelsea Sugar Refinery carpark down by the seawall. There are open spaces to have a picnic or let the kids have a runaround, and the park opening commemoration sculpture highlights some of the best views. If you walk along the seawall path right next to the main pond, it takes you into Chelsea Bay Reserve and you have a lovely view of the bay and harbour through many pohutukawa. In the trees above the main pond you can see nesting shags and throughout the park there are a variety of native birds such as tui and wood pigeon. The smaller walks take you through regenerating bush and stands of more mature trees. The walk up past the upper pond (above the road crossing) is particularly enjoyable, though a reasonable level of fitness is required. The lakes are home to a variety of native fish, such as short and long-finned eels, common bully and banded kokopu as well as exotic species such as perch, goldfish, grass and koi carp. These tracks will take you on a loop around Chelsea. For Map please visit this site: http://www.birkenheadnorthcote.org.nz/chelsea.php There’s even a floodlit astroturf tennis court right by Pond 2 that public can use. Enjoy You are looking for a “well camoed” container. NO need to move cache, just the top. (this will make sense once found) Usual swag inside and a FTF prize also waits to be collected!
