Take a trip out or stop off on your journey for a picnic, dog walk or to enjoy the children’s playground at Ashhurst Domain.
Also a popular camping spot (both powered and non-powered sites) with great facilities. A big plus is that it is also a dog friendly campsite. Adults: $7.50 unpowered site, $10 powered site. Child: $4
Walking tracks take you around the large sports fields. On the lower level there is a short but beautiful & tranquil bush walk with access to the Manawatu River. The Wetlands are great for bird watching with a viewing platform on the cliff.
The extensive children’s playground is a great outing for the kids with BBQ facilities and picnic tables available.
