Head up Thames St (towards Hamilton) and take the first left on to Ave Road S. Run over the railway and continue down this road to the other end of the park, then take another left just before the bridge to go down into the gully. Follow this walkway all the way along to Studholme St, then turn right and run a short way to pick up the walkway across the road again. Continue along this walkway all the way to the small pond at the end, loop around there, and then back they way you came.

Petrol station across the road or New World supermarket.

On-road parking or New World across the road from the Mega Cow if you're not staying over their time limit. Trail head is on the main road through Morrinsville so public transport likely available too.
