Event

Ever wondered what comes alive when the sun goes down? Join us for a free night‑time hīkoi tracing part of Waitītiko / Meola Creek — and meet the creatures who call this awa home after dark.

We’re teaming up with Mountains To Sea Conservation Trust and STEPS to explore the hidden night world of Chamberlain Park. As we wander along the awa, we’ll listen for calls, look for movement, and discover the wildlife that thrives when the rest of the city sleeps.

You’ll also hear from STEPS about their mahi to boost water quality, restore native habitat, and strengthen flood readiness for the whole community. We will cover the restoration work Chamberlain Park Restoration Group have been up to as well. It’s a chance to experience the awa in a new way while learning how local action makes a real difference.

Please register so we know how much gear and kai to bring. Please also bring a head torch if you have one.

Meet: just inside Chamberlain Park at the end of Sutherland Rod, Point Chevalier, Auckland 1025.

Please note: the walk takes place at night and includes uneven surfaces, so it’s not suitable for pushchairs or very young children. A moderate level of fitness and good balance are recommended. No dogs.

Groups: STEPS, Chamberlain Conservation Group
