Walkways and Pedestrian Bridges

There are a number of walkways and pedestrian bridges in the District, some maintained by Council.  A number that have been developed and are currently being maintained by volunteer community groups are.

• Te Peka Walkway (and Te Peka Reserve), Taumarunui.
• Manunui River Walkway, Manunui - links to short bush walks in the main section of native tree reserve, approximately 3km long, with sidewalks creating a small network within the tree reserve area at the western end of the walkway.
• Whanganui River Walkway, Taumarunui - partially formed, starting beside the Ongarue River at Miriama Street and continuing through to Manunui and State Highway 4 and rail bridges.
• Mangawhero Rier Walkway, Ohakune - approximately 1km long.
• The Old Coach Road, Ohakune - restoration of the old cobblestone coach road between the Ohakune Railway Station and Horopito via Old Station Road and Marshall's Road.  The Old Coach Road Cycle Trail was opened by Prime Minister John Key in July 2010.
