Jim Percy Memorial Walk, Lutana Woodlands Reserve
Getting There
This reserve can be accessed via Lennox Avenue or Bowen Road.
A small carpark is accessed from Bowen Road, though on-street parking is plentiful at all entries.
Soak up the sunshine in this north-facing native grassland with a picturesque view towards the city and kunanyi / Mount Wellington. The paved tracks range from a flat 350m stroll to a 1km loop around the top of the hill. This reserve's pathways were upgraded in 2021 to facilitate wheelchair and pram access.
The native grasslands contain over 65 species of plants, including threatened species. Visit in spring to see how many colours of native wildflowers and butterflies can you spot.
The reserve is a dog-off leash area (partly fenced), and hosts a playground and an oval with a cricket pitch for any recreational pursuits.
The Lutana Woodlands Group is a community group that works within this reserve to protect and enhance the native grasslands through weed control and planting activities.
