Te Arapiki a Tane

easy walk with nature reserves nearby that you can explore. challenging uphill to cycle too! It's got parking, but be aware of their schedule

If you want some serious exercise without having to pay a cent these steps can provide. There are two sets of steps. One has 180 steps and the other 220 steps. It's a good challenge to go up without stopping. The view is great from the top. On a clear day one an see Mount Ruapehu. Also a good view of Palmerston North and the river. Easy uphill access by Cliff Road and there is parking at the top if you just want to see the view. Step to it

The walk from our home on Te Awe Awe Street, up Pork Chop Hill then walking both sets of steps and then walking back to our home is simply very good exercise combined with fantastic views.nWe are very lucky to live in the area....

Rainy day. Hubby walked down visible in photo and up fairly easily. We are in our early 60's and just starting to get fit, again! We remember this as an actively eroding face not too long ago. Fantastic engineering!

Probably the best views of the volcanic plateau in the city. The Manawatu River always looks majestic from the top of the stairs. Then of course the steps are one of the cities best fitness assets.
