Parks & Nature
Mangere Mountain is an easy walk from the flatlet. Turn left onto Wallace Rd from the top of the driveway. Take the first right up Ridgemount Rise to the T-junction where Ridgemount meets Kanohi Terrace. Go up the grassy bank on the other side of the road and cross the stile. Bear right to walk diagonally up to the saddle, where there is a large tree. From there you can turn left up the grassy road for an easy walk to the highest beacon. From there you can see the Sky Tower, and the pinnacle on One Tree Hill to the north. You can also walk down in either direction from here to the Mangere Brige shops which are about 300m south of the old bridge which crosses the harbour.

Turn right out of the driveway and walk approximately 300 metres until you reach a bus stop opposite Pikitea Rd. Just past this is a small entrance to a path which runs parallel to a paddock. This will lead you down to Mangere Lagoon. Turn right at the bottom to reach the Watercare Coastal Walkway. and bird nesting beaches. There are many shorter of longer walks or bike rides in the park. Most paths lead to Ambury Farm where there is daily milking, lamb feeding etc. The farm is open to the public and you are free to wander. Alternatively, you can climb the stile at the back of our house and explore the farm. Be careful of electrified wires on the farm fences.

Sightseeing
Stonefileds, 56 Ihumatao Quarry Road, Mangere
It takes about half an hour to ride there and you access it along the waterfront without any traffic (except for one service road to Puketutu Island). It is a lovely ride and you could stop for a nice lunch at the renowned Villa Maria Wine Estate en route (booking in advance recommended). Otherwise it’s about 10 minutes by car to the Stonefields. This is one of the city’s last volcanic areas where you can see the large-scale remains of stone and earthworks that show how early Maori lived and worked. The 100-hectare area was established to protect and preserve the archaeological remains of the communities that thrived on this land.
