Best Stroller Friendly Trails in New Zealand

Nice easy walk if that is what you are looking for. Plenty of shelter from the sun, which is great during summer and the track is well maintained. Would be a good walk to take the kids along to.

easy and nice! very wide and well maintained track.

This is a nice easy walk, definitely a good walk if you are starting to increase your fitness.

Well formed and marked trail, no steps, suitable for buggies. Features a swimming hole in the river on the western side.

Beautiful. Went at sunset which was lovely.

Very interesting formations. Easy hike with few steps along the way

Great hike for sunset, though we did it in the morning. Low effort, high reward. Cool waterfall that goes into the beach.

Well maintained and accessible. Definitely designed for tourists, but still gets you close to the pancake rocks (and is free). Would recommend going for sunset, though I imagine it gets super busy.

Such a lovely little track to stretch your legs when you're on the road! Very well maintained, not too busy and lots of birds around. First you enter this mini-jungle and you end up at a nice beach with a waterfall.

easy walk, good for people working on their fitness

Beautiful discoveries at every turn! Walk out on the beach and check out the caves and waterfalls.

What a fun walk! Awesome scenes along the beach.

Easy access

An easily accessible walk that is great for spotting marine birds and studying mangroves. Even at midday on a Saturday there weren't many others on the walk. There's also a great fitness trail dotted around the walk.

Super easy. Great dog park with a playground for the kids. Easy loop.

Quick and easy elevated walk, even for unfit people like me!

A great walk for people & dogs of all ages! It's an easy, clear walk to quickly boost your daily step count.

This is a fabulous sample of N.Z. flora & fauna, right in the middle of suburbia, easily accessed by foot or car from Tamaki Drive. Parking is available kerbside on Dingle Road where this trail begins. There are other points where you can enter this trail, from the surrounding roads, Woodside Cres, Parkside St and Fern Glen Rd. Within moments of entering this trail you are completely immersed in forest, the traffic noise disappears and instead you hear tuis & fantails. Currently (Aug 2019) a large section of the Dingle Dell reserve pathways are closed to prevent the spread of Kauri Dieback disease - there is a historically significant Kauri grove in the area - however, these pathways are not part of this trail; you will see they are fenced off. There was also a large storm a week ago and this has blown down some smaller trees along the trail, but you can easily climb over/under them.

Short easy ride via mangroves and bush. Great for young kids with bikes.

Great cycle ride

Nothing special, maybe good for running. Nothing to see around just a straight path.

This walk is quite busy and used by dog walkers and baby in trolleys. It’s well maintained and nice combination with open spaces overlooking the old quarry and lush bush that provide some shade. Nice short but sweet walk with the dog!

Nice easy walk with beautiful views and you always encounter friendly chch locals and their dogs. Best at sunrise or sunset as it’s very pretty but is also really nice on a hot day in the afternoon. Coffee carts sometimes come to the car park in weekends.

nice easy walk but crowdy. close to the highway 6 the track is perfect for all family. beautiful view and amazing rocks.

Quite a short walk but it's the perfect length and difficulty to walk my small dogs. And it's a nice walk to do on a sunny day if you want to see a view of Christchurch

A nice short walk.

It was amazing. We went up the hill and saw the whole picture of the town. There are alternative routes could be chosen. Highly recommend!
