Households with small amounts of asbestos-contaminated sand can take it to the Foxton Transfer Station in a sealed container for free disposal from Thursday to Monday. Do not put the sand in your bin, bag, or with other rubbish. People with large amounts of contaminated sand can call Central Demolition on 0800 344 421 and it will be removed free of charge.

Dogs are allowed off leash, though must be kept under control at all times and kept away from swimmers. Please keep children in direct sight.
There is ongoing pest control work in this reserve. Please keep dogs on a leash and under control at all times. Signage at the reserve provides more detailed information.
Camping is permitted from 1 December to 28 April, subject to availability. There is also a toilet/changing block open during this period.
