Swingbridge Track

After passing through the Kaitoke Regional Park Campground, there is a large car park off Waterworks Road with space for over 24 cars. There are no designated mobility car parks. 

The Swingbridge Track starts at the Kaitoke Regional Park Campground on Waterworks Road.

Entry to the Swingbridge Track is via a long 1.2m, 1:11 (5°) accessible ramp. Enter the loop in an anti-clockwise direction, or via a wide vehicle bridge. 

After crossing the swingbridge, there is access to another short 10 minute (450m) loop walk. Learn about this unique forest with the information panels along the way.

The Swingbridge Track trail surface is well maintained and low risk. There are a few trip hazards due to tree roots. Bridges have rails.

• The forest trail is mainly compacted-gravel, with obstacles including tree roots and exposed rocks. 
• The service road section is tarseal. 
• All bridges and boardwalks have mesh.

Facilities

Toilets and water are available at the Kaitoke Regional Park Campground.

Flushing accessible toilets are also available at the car park near the trailhead.

Seats

There are picnic tables at the car park, and eight seats evenly spaced along the track.

At the car park, there is a signage shelter that includes trail information, interpretations and a map. Entry/exit points and other route options along the trail are clearly signposted.
