Bridges of Trelissick Park

Trelissick Park has 7 bridge crossings of the 2 major streams in the park. The bridges are numbered from 1 to 7 going downstream. There have been a number of major changes over the years, but currently 5 of the bridges are in the Korimako Stream valley and 2 are in the Kaiwharawhara Stream valley.

Bridge 1 was completed in 2002 and bridges 2, 3, 4 and 5 in the Korimako Stream valley in 2006, opening up access to that valley. (Bridges 3 and 4 have since been replaced.) Bridge 7 was completed in 2020. Bridge 6 has been there 'forever' but has been rebuilt on several occasions. Current pictures of each bridge are shown below.

There is one other bridge in the park, near the historic magazines, which is currently closed to public access. It was open for many years, allowing access to a portion of Trelissick Park for native plant restoration, weed removal and predator control, but KiwiRail and WCC have now closed off access.
