Description

A network of informal walking tracks meanders through Stanley Park with stunning views over the harbour from open grassland areas.

The main track starts at Beach Road and heads uphill to the Beach Road lookout (above the fire station).

From the lookout, it curves through the kanuka forest before crossing through the middle of the grasslands area, where stock grazes. Cross Penlington Place to pick up the track to reach Watson Street.
