Curator’s walk

Date: 1 December 2015 10:30 to 12:00
Details:
The Curator’s Walks always leave from the Bellringer Pavilion at 10.30am, lasting about an
hour and a half.
These guided walks are not restricted to members, as anyone who is interested is more than
welcome to join the group on any occasion. Walks are advertised in the Midweek newspaper on
the second Wednesday of each month and give the meeting point for the start of each.
For those who want extra social time the walks are followed by tea or coffee in the Tea House.

About “The Friends”

Friends of Pukekura Park are first and foremost people who love Pukekura Park, Brooklands Park and the associated bush Reserves and wish to safeguard its special character.

  • We are a social group, we meet in the evenings several times a year, usually with a speaker and occasionally enjoy a day trip locally or further a field.
  • We produce a magazine three times a year to keep members up to date with happenings within the Park, plus providing historical and ecological information relating to the Park, and, of course, there's our Friends' website!
  • Some members train to be guides and take tour groups through the Park, others act as tail-end charlies to ensure no one gets lost!
  • Volunteers drive the buggy so that less able visitors can enjoy the Park.
  • Other volunteers assist Park staff with gardening and pruning tasks.
  • A Friends committee works closely with Stuart Robertson, NPDC Parks Manager and Chris Connolly the Curator for Pukekura Park.
