Walking is the most accessible and easy form of exercise. It doesn’t cost anything, no special equipment or training is needed, and people of all levels of fitness can walk.
A highly motivated and determined community worked alongside two councils to create a safe, 4.5km walking and cycling link between Horsham Downs Village and Hamilton.
This walking and cycling route links Horsham Downs and Resolution Drive initially by a 1.4km footpath alongside the road and then by an off road walking and cycling route through a future roading reserve which HCC has granted a License to Occupy.
The Warren Cole Walk and Cycleway is a new 2.1 km long, all weather
accessway along the Whakatane River stop bank. It runs from the
Whakatane River Bridge to the Whakatane Gardens and Amphitheatre. It is a
part of the Council’s overall Whakatane River Greenways Project which
stretches for 5km from the Whakatane River mouth to the SH2 Whakatane
River Bridge. |
