Horse Riding at Duder Regional Park
Horse Riding at Duder Regional Park
Duder Regional Park is one of Auckland Councils southern parks. It is located in Maraetai, off North Rd. Horse Riding is available all year round (Oct 2014 update), and is relatively small, just 13.7 ha.
Trails and Terrain
Trails and Terrain
Duder is a park built on 13.7 ha rolling farmland, with views out over the Waitemata Harbour from Maraetai. It is closed to horse riding during winter and spring lambing.
There is a single 'farm loop' trail of approx. 4.5km which is marked by a series of coloured marker poles. There are frequent reports that the rangers are not particularly horse friendly, but this is a park open to horses so please keep using it, or we will lose it.
Access and Parking
Access and Parking
There is no specific parking area specifically for floats or horse trucks, but the entrance is a very long driveway that accommodates parking along a wide verge. You must have a Regional Parks network horse riding pass to ride here.
Getting There
Getting There
Duder Regional Park is on North Rd, that runs from Maraetai to Clevedon. The entrance is well marked, and you should be prepared to park along the grass verge before the main public parking area (you'll see the toilet block on the right hand side that marks the main parking area).
