Ōtara Lake and Waterways
Restored waterways linking a chain of reserves right through Ōtara to the estuary.

A creek and lake system with shared paths connecting reserves across the suburb and out to the Tāmaki Estuary. The value is in the connections. You can walk or ride a long way without meeting a road, which is rarer than it ought to be. Restoration work carries on, so it improves year on year.
