Pakowhai Regional Park in Napier

Too many dogs and not enough parkings

Really lovely dog park!

First time swimming at the dog park!.

Great selection of trails.

Great dog walking park with a river running right through for your dog to swim in. Agility course here as well.

Good to visit everyday for walk, most beautiful part on a cherry blossom season.

The best park for the dog. Its a wide and spacious place to run and play and they can swim in the river while the owner can sit and watch the dog while playing with the other dog. Our dog really love this park.

Dogs love walks here.

Needs more bins around the place but otherwise a great place to run your dogs. Well maintained and plenty of room for everyone.Bit of work going on and is tidy

People are nice, the park is huge, love the river and bridges our puppy favorite place

More plantings bringing more beauty. Winter sun reflects off water.

Peaceful place to bring dogs for training and exercise

Wow! Best place in H.B for humans and their fur babies. Love going there. My Mastiff X just gets so excited. We walk ever nook and cranny and love every moment...its a little bit of paradise

Absolutely magnificent dog park.

Very nice park.

Fabulous dog park - beautiful trees, clear river going through - friendly people. 😀

Lovely place for take your dog for a walk, also great place for training your pup.

Wonderful place to socialise your dog or just go for a walk. Theres lots for your dog to explore in this park and even an agility course!

Such a beautiful park to take your fur baby or even just yourself! Gorgeous views and lots of varied tracks around! My go to walking spot.

Very nice park to walk with your dog. Clean and good environment. A lot of trees to shade you from the strong sunlight during hot summer time.

Excellent place for your fur baby..has an awesome river for them to cool off...good walking..love this place...

Excellent shaded area for dogs to be off leash, and have not come across an aggressive doggo yet

You couldnt find a better place for bringing your dogs: fields, woods, streams, and loads of well behaved dogs to play with!

Amazing place to take your dogs or just take a walk. Perfect swimming places for your dogs also. They even supply poop bags if you forget so you can clean up after your pooches lol 😆

Brilliant place to take your dogs, the dogs love it and they can chill out and enjoy

A doggo adventure/dream.A QR code is displayed at main carpark entrance.One unisex 🚻 long drop public toilet 🚾, not sign posted so from the main car park turn left & follow the top path for about 200 mtrs to a single plywood building, their is an outside hand wash station always stocked with soap, & a tap with doggo water bowl, & a rubbish bin.

One of the dogs favourites. Friendly people with well behaved dogs. Nice scenic views and a stream for the doggos to swim in. Happy days!

Great place to take your pooch for those daily walks. My beautiful pooch loves the walk and swim. Great exercise for us both 💖💖💖

Its a fabulous park for everyone and dogs. We walk there every day and are so impressed with how the regional park authority look after it. Very lucky to have such a great park nearby.

Ill tell you what if you have a dog 🐕 or just want a good walk this is the place Im in a wheelchair 2 hills but not that steep we go here it has it all a little river bridges tall trees a big meadow with a seat for a rest even a very clean toilet 🚻 so I recommend to all

Beautiful relaxing place to take the dog for a walk

Love this dog park. The grounds are well kept, its clean and very doggy friendly with a range of terrain including agility course and stream running through.

Great dog park, my dog actually whines as we drive into the car park she is so excited to visit. Dog owners in general are really responsible here and the options at the park itself for walks makes for a great experience both for humans and dogs alike.

Go here at least twice a weekend! My puppy loves the dogs park, such an amazing space for doggoes, with the river for swimming, agility course and so much space to run around

A beautiful park where dogs are allowed to run free and play in the river which runs through the site. An easy terrain which makes for easy walking. A great carpark all adds to the appeal.

Love it! Dog loves it! She meets heaps of friendly dogs and people there. Makes her day!

Nice walk but all for dog owners. All dog. Owners were there

Amazing Park! Absolutely loved it, I enjoyed it just as much as my dog 😊

Beautiful spot, our go to park in Napier. Kids love the old historic bridge. Looks like an awesome place to run a dog also!

Really enjoyed our walk today. We dont have a dog, but enjoyed watching all the happy dogs we encountered along the way. Im currently having to use a knee scooter, but found the tracks relatively easy to negotiate, except for needing help up a rather steep slope. I also appreciated the fact that the park is free from litter, making it an enjoyable place to be.

Beautiful spot. Great place especially if you have a crazy dog who likes to run through the water. Theres also some doggy poo bags up on the bridge and plenty of bins

My dog and I love walking here, the best part is he can run free

Fantastic dog park! Feels like your in the middle of nowhere but its not far from town. I love bringing my dog here and you always meet some lovely people and dogs while your walking. Great stream for dogs to swim in and plenty of easy walking paths. I also really appreciate how the council provides dog poop bags in case you forget yours!

Pakowai is a social place to go. My dog meets friends and so do I. Spring has made all the northern trees bright green while the natives are flowering to feed the This and your soul.

For a dog park this space was clean, with plenty of parking. There was alot of dog walkers and the vibe between them was social and friendly. The coffee cart was an added bonus - yummy milkshakes.

Our favourite off leash dog park

Really pleasant place for a wander, with or without a dog friend

This is such a great place to have a stroll in a beautiful natural setting and also take your dog for a walk. Its actually perfect for dog walking and there is even a dog exercise park with an obstacle course, which our son also enjoyed! Very well maintained paths and grounds, and toilet facilities also. Plenty of parking and very conveniently located.

Our dogs love this place. The walk around the whole park is about 2.5km, but there are shorter routes around. Great for a gentle walk as well for running with your dogs. Off the lead allowed, plenty of rubbish bins and poop bags around the park for doggy doodoos. The stream is fantastic relief for hot dogs. Lovely plantings and fruit trees around park. Theres a long drop toilet as well, down the path (half way down ?left side path of carpark. New car park with lots of parking, some shaded parks too. Many memorials around the park for those interested. And daffodils in spring time. Great place for family picnics, but not many picnic tables, so take a rug. There are a few seats around the park and also a cool dog exercise training area.

Ive been coming here with for 12 years with my dogs. Its a great walk that you can make as long or short as your time allows. Most people you meet are very friendly. There is a loo for the humans and poo bag dispensers if you forget your own bags.
