When it is finished the Kamo Shared Path will run for 6.5 kms from the city centre to the suburb of Kamo (where Max and I lived - it is three years today since he died). Doug and I have walked various parts of the Path with the Parkinson walking group at different times and, today, we re-walked part of it followed by a part that has just been opened. It is for walkers, cyclists, skate boarders and everything except cars,vans trucks etc. It also goes past 8 different schools making it ideal for children to ride or walk to school away from roads. It actually runs alongside the railway line.
The part we walked today started off flat and then rose slightly making it ideal as it was a gradual descent on the return.
Some seats would be good for groups such as ours. Although I haven't shown them in the photos there are actually some lovely plantings along the way as well as views into back gardens which I always enjoy.
The next stage is due to be completed later this year while the last stage is still in the planning stages.
Pirate rode the path when we were in Whangarei..hope we may return to ride the full distance
ReplyDeleteNot sure when the final stage will be done but by the end of the year it will go most of the way.
DeleteWhat a great idea. You live in a wonderful area.
ReplyDeleteIt is well used which is great.
DeleteSomeone should create a bird list for the walk.
ReplyDeleteGood idea although we did not see many birds on our walk.
DeleteThat looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt is great giving school children in particular a way to cycle to school away from traffic.
