The track starts behind the Public Shelter, where there are toilets, hot water and showers, as well as a picnic area. It's an easy climb and descent through one of the few stands of silver beech / tawai (or tawhai) forest in the park. A fairly sheltered place to go in poor weather but pretty unremarkable compared to other walks nearby.
