The city’s network includes the 12.7-kilometer Coastal Walkway, heritage estates like the Arts and Crafts-style Tupare Garden, and specialized botanical sites such as Woodleigh Nursery. These spaces offer a mix of native bush trails along the Huatoki Stream, manicured gardens, and coastal recreation areas with views of the Tasman Sea.
