Announcement : Horowhenua District Council has agreed to give equestrian groups access to the McKenzie Trail through Cousins Avenue Reserve. They will enter through the reserve at the western end of the park (the carpark end of Cousins Ave West).

They may also use the open space adjacent to the gravel carpark to park horse floats. We will assess the use and suitability of this arrangement after six months.
