Town Belt

The Town Belt is a continuous green strip circling Dunedin's central area, linking multiple parks and open spaces together. The land features walking trails, cycling paths, and open grassland spread across the green corridor.

The Town Belt was established in the 1800s to provide open space for the growing European settlement population in Dunedin. This project reflected a deliberate effort to ensure the city had dedicated green areas for public use.

The Town Belt serves as a gathering place where residents connect with nature and spend time outdoors in various ways. You'll see families walking, cyclists riding, and people sitting on benches to enjoy the green surroundings throughout the day.

Multiple entry points around the green belt allow easy access to start walks and bike rides at different locations. Plan your visit during dry weather, as some paths can become slippery when wet.

The Town Belt was intentionally designed as one continuous green space rather than separate scattered parks. This connected approach created a unified natural corridor that wraps around the entire city.
