Barnett Park

The walk is a steady uphill climb that leads to stairs up to the cave view. It’s definitely worth it once you reach the top, a great spot to have a breather, take some photos, and enjoy the view before heading back down.nnSuitable for both kids and adults. We usually walk up the left track and come down the right hand side. That said, each time I’ve been there it looks like more of the track has been washed away by rain, and some parts feel steeper than I remember. I wouldn’t recommend doing the walk after a rainy day.nnSome sections of the track are a bit rocky and uneven, so you’ll need to watch your footing and take care navigating up or down depending on which side you take.nnThere’s also a water fountain, playground, and toilet facilities available on site.

Nice walk up to the cave with good views, it’s 173m of elevation gain and takes about 45mins - 2hrs depending on your fitness.

Brilliant! Great walk and easy for most levels of fitness. Fantastic views at the top and the cave is cool as well. We went up the right side and came down the left when looking from the bottom.

What an awesome walk with amazing views. Well worth the visit bring the camera and take it all in. Dog friendly so you get to enjoy with your family pet. Must do in chch.

An awesome walk. Great to take the kids out and away from the screens. We are a bit slower, so took us about 50 minutes to get up to the cave.
