Skyline Walkway

The Skyline Walkway can be completed from either direction or done in stages, as there are many entry and exit points along the way. The track is accessible from suburban streets in Karori, Khandallah Crofton Downs, Ngaio and Broadmeadows.

To start the trail from the north at Johnsonville,  take a bus to Cortina Avenue and walk to Old Coach Road.

To start the trail from the southern end, take the bus to Karori Road opposite Karori Park. You’ll need to walk 1km to the beginning of the track.
