Glenbrook Reserve

2010-04-26T10:12:53Z

Parkie:

A reserve in [[Rocky Bay]] that is undersold by it's entrances. Though it might not look like much from the road, it is in fact one of Waiheke's best, with fantastic Nikaus at the Glenbrook Road entrance (including a fallen one by the pedestrian bridge that has grown back up in a 'U' shape. Worth watching out for). Halfway through the track emerges at a rocky lookout/pa site that gives fantastic views out across to Auckland.

Since early 2010 you can now enter the reserve through an entrance on O'Brien Road, around 100m from the bus turnaround. It gives a 'front door' for the reserve and takes walkers straight up to the view point/historic site. This section was bought by Auckland City using reserve contributions from land development on the island.

Onetangi Sports Park

2010-04-26T10:10:42Z

Parkie:

[[Image:onetangi sports park.JPG|right|frame|Onetangi Sports Park, as viewed from Puketapu Reserve]] The Onetangi Sports Park was developed after earlier plans to develop sport fields at [[Te Toki Reserve]] on Wilma Road were abandoned after opposition from some in the community. Land for the $4 million project was acquired from the Rothschild Estate. The park, opened in 2000, has two sand-carpeted fields for rugby and soccer and one standard soccer pitch (known as Pitch 3), four artificial surfaced tennis courts, a disc golf course, a mountain bike track, walking tracks and picnic areas. Its two-storyed pavilion is now home to the Waiheke Island Rugby Club. The park was the end result after years of often bitter debate over the future of field sports on the island.

Blackpool

2009-03-11T09:58:02Z

Parkie: /* The Esplanade */

Blackpool is a small settlement on the southern coast. The beach is popular with kayakers and for [[Windsurfing]].

Blackpool was originally called Brown Bay, after the Brown family that occupied the area.

Blackpool is also the home to a few community living houses. These houses share their resources and financial costs as well as encourage fun, creative thinking, and cultural exchange.

Blackpool is home to the [[Piritahi_Marae]] as well as the wreck of the scow [[Rahiri]]

=== The Esplanade ===

A collection of Waiheke community groups is calling for The Esplanade between Blackpool and [[Surfdale]] to be made safe for walkers, horse riders and cyclists by closing it to vehicle traffic.

Community Board member [[Eileen Evans]], who is leading the call, says, “People are telling me they want to see a true esplanade - a place where everybody can walk or ride along the waterfront, safely and in peace. At the moment it’s a racetrack, a wasted opportunity that no family in their right mind would want to use”.

“The road would still be there, virtually unchanged. It would still be available in an emergency, simply by removing a few lockable bollards. We’ve spoken to the Waiheke Police and they have said that they would be happy with this arrangement”.

'''Survey'''

An online survey has been set up to enable Waihekeans to have their say on the future of The Esplanade.

502 people took the survey before it closed on 10 March 2009.

When asked "Which option would you prefer for The Esplanade?", the 491 people who responded chose:

Is closed to vehicles except in emergencies 75.6% (371 respondents)

It is left as is (Vehicles both ways) 12.6% (62 respondents)

It is made one way to vehicles 11.8% (58 respondents)

Groups in favour of closing The Esplanade to vehicles include:

Waiheke Pony Club,
Waiheke Adult Riding Club,
Cycle Action Waiheke,
Waiheke Playgroup,
Walkways on Waiheke,
Waiheke Health Trust,
Waiheke Island Tourism,
Dog Owners Group (D.O.G.).

Eileen is asking for other community groups to let her know their views. She can be contacted on 09 372 2377 or at eileenmichael@xtra.co.nz.

Parkie:

'''The Esplanade'''

A collection of Waiheke community groups is calling for The Esplanade between Blackpool and Surfdale to be made safe for walkers, horse riders and cyclists by closing it to vehicle traffic.

The call comes in response to Reg Cuthers’ (Auckland City Council’s manager for transport in the HGI) invitation for feedback on the future of the road, which is due for major repairs over the coming months.

Community Board member Eileen Evans, who is leading the call, says, “People are telling me they want to see a true esplanade - a place where everybody can walk or ride along the waterfront, safely and in peace. At the moment it’s a racetrack, a wasted opportunity that no family in their right mind would want to use”.

The change would mark an end to dangerous driving on The Esplanade which has resulted in at least three serious accidents over the last 3 years. Already, the call has been backed by Waiheke Playgroup, Blackpool Esplanade residents, the Pony Club and Adult Riding Club, Cycle Action Waiheke.

According to Eileen, this is a unique opportunity. “Nobody needs to drive along this section of road. There are no property accesses off this section of the Esplanade and the steepness and height of the cliffs means there never will be. Neighbours at each end of the road are overwhelmingly for the change”.

“The road would still be there, virtually unchanged. It would still be available in an emergency, simply by removing a few lockable bollards. We’ve spoken to the Waiheke Police and they have said that they would be happy with this arrangement”.

The solution requires no additional work or expense, other than the cost of the bollards. “If it doesn't work, it can easily be changed back. If it does work, we'll have a coastal walkway/cycleway/bridle path that will benefit a wide cross section of the Waiheke community”.

Auckland City Parks adviser Gary Wilton supports the idea. “It would be a great addition to our coastal walkway network” says Gary. “It would be a destination in itself, a place to fish, for boaties to come ashore, with seats and picnic tables, somewhere we can plant Pohutukawas, all without fear of speeding cars”.

Eileen adds “Once it’s safe, it becomes a vital everyday link: for kids to walk and cycle safely to school; for the cycle tourists and cycling commuters; and for the horse-riding community, taking them safely between Oneroa and Surfdale”.

“This is a community decision” she says. “We’re great at resisting things on Waiheke, but this is something positive we can all get behind and secure for future generations. How can we tell our kids that we preferred a dusty, dangerous road to a stunning coastal walkway? We’ve made a suggestion, now we want people to think it through. We’ve got an online survey coming so that everyone can have their say”.

Eileen is asking for other community groups to let her know their views. She can be contacted on 09 372 2377 or at eileenmichael@xtra.co.nz.

Kuakarau Bay Forest Reserve

Kuakarau Bay Forest Reserve is some 15 ha big. It is located between Te Whau Drive and [[Kuakarau Bay]] and can be reached on foot
via [http://www.aucklandcity.govt.nz/whatson/places/walkways/waiheke/walk5.asp Rocky Bay's Te Whau loop].

It offers arguably the best broadleaf podocarp trees of any Auckland City Reserve on the island. It is virtually weed-free and is part of the Birdsafe/Auckland City Council initiative to make Te Whau Peninsula a pest-free 'island'.

Possums

2007-11-23T08:52:55Z

Parkie:

Waiheke is part of only 10 per cent of New Zealand free of the possum pest. Various sightings have been reported. At least one, when a Waiheke builder managed to run over a possum on Crescent Road East in 1999, has been verified. Others have proved to be hoaxes. However, the now infamous Rocky Bay possum, sighted by several people including former islander Peter Topzand, was never found, despite extensive searches. One such search was led by [[Sandra Lee]].

Some smart Alec thinks it's funny to occasionally bring over a possum and drop it by the roadside on the island. Rather than create a real scare, this just causes unnecessary expense for local parks staff who have to go through the formality of sending the stiff to Christchurch so that the contents of it's stomach can be confirmed as off-island. His identity is known to police, who have come to expect his call when a 'dropped' possum fails to make local news.

Kennedy Point Reserve

2007-11-23T08:21:02Z

Parkie:

Running off Kennedy Point Rd the Kennedy Point Reserve runs down to the sea and contains a stand of large and old pohutukawa trees. Waiheke Island, like Great Barrier, is possum free so pohutukawa have flourished.

A track runs from Kennedy Point Road through the reserve to Takirau Bay. One of Waiheke's few west-facing beaches, this is a great place to stop, swim and picnic in late afternoon as the sun starts to set.

At present the experience of the reserve is pretty much limited to this single damp track from road to beach, but the reserve itself stretches around the point to the left and right through to Esslin Reserve to the right. At the headland to the right (when looking to sea) is a large Pa site with a double set of fortification ditches.

A new track leading across the cliff top to the far end of the beach is scheduled for completion this year. There will also be another track leading directly from Kennedy Point Road.

Mac's Track

2007-11-02T08:03:55Z

Parkie:

Mac's Track leads from [[the loop road]] above [[Waikopu Bay]] down to the coast. It was gifted to the public by former Waikopu Bay residents [[Mac MacArthur]] and [[Judy Voullaire]], both of whom were active in politics on Waiheke for many years. It is a moderately steep walk of about 10-15 mins.

Not many people know this, but there is one of the Auckland City parks barbecues at the bottom of this track. When you get to the beach, turn left and walk along the beach about 100m and lo and behold, a clearing with a bbq in it. Free of course, but make sure you've brought everything you need, as the walk back up the hill is a bugger.

2007-10-22T08:25:43Z

Parkie:

Alison Park is a council reserve in [[Oneroa]]. It features several sculptures, included two council purchases from the biennial [[Sculpture on the Gulf]], and a grove of olive trees.

Alison Reserve has been chosen as the main park on Waiheke for exotic trees(ie trees that are not native to New Zealand). As well as Olives you will find Macadamia, Macrocarpa, Australian Kauri and numerous fruit trees.

Like many Waiheke parks it's early life saw it used for tipping domestic rubbish. Remnants of which can still be found in the bush valley down the middle.

It was cleared of thick weeds in the late 1990's and if you look closely at the grass in parts, you can still see gorse and manuka growing less than one inch high.

Pohutukawa Reserve is a piece of hilly reserve behind the [[Onetangi Residents Associaton Hall]], it is owned and managed by Auckland City. It is sometimes referred to as Waiheke Reserve, presumably as it is on Waiheke Road.

McKenzie Reserve

Parkie:

The McKenzie reserve is a relatively small area with walking track entrances off Great Barrier Road or Empire Road , which leads to [[Enclosure Bay]]. The reserve was a mature pine forest in 2006, 2007 where the pine trees were removed and natives planted. A new a picnic area was also created.

If you look closely at the map you will see that McKenzie Reserve has a short 'dog-leg' section on its western edge that meets with Coromandel Road. A rough walkway can be found leading from Coromandel Road into the reserve. This path is due to be properly formed in the next couple of years.

The Waiheke Reserve is off Waiheke Road in Onetangi

The main pedestrian entrance is immediately behind the Onetangi Residents Association Hall at the corner of Waiheke Road and Third Avenue. Other entrances are opposite the Forest and Bird Reserve on Waiheke Road and at the top of First Avenue.

Although it has in the past been named Waiheke Reserve, it is currently signposted 'Pohutukawa Reserve'. Not to be confused with Pohutukawa Reserve at the end of Pohutukawa Lane in Rocky Bay.
