 Dogs You may bring your dogs here, however they must be on a lead. The many short tracks in the park make for an enjoyable walk for both owners and their dogs, but don't forget your dogs lead! |

Wildlife
Unfortunately, with a park of this size, there is not enough room here to list all the birds, animals and trees, however information on this is available from the park's shop, or on the big boards in the little information hut at the end carpark. You may also notice along some tracks there are little information stands. |

Swimming
There are a few good places to swim at the park. Safe swimming holes can be found at the end of Orongorongo Track, there is one off the recreational area next to the second to last parking area (on your left going in), although it may take some finding, and there are many great spots for wading also. |

Camping
Camping grounds are available in Rimutaka Forest Park. When I asked, it was $4 per night however it would pay to double check this with the shop. |

Hazards
