Bridges of Trelissick Park

Trelissick Park has seven bridge crossings of the two 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 five of the bridges are in the Korimako Stream valley and two of the bridges are in the Kaiwharawhara Stream valley. The current bridge 1 was completed in 2002 with bridges 2, 3, 4 and 5 in the Korimako Stream valley completed in 2006 opening up access to that valley. (Bridges 3 and 4 have since been replaced.) (Bridge 2 currently has limited use restriction, awaiting a rebuild at some stage.) Bridge 7 was completed in 2020 - and Bridge 6 has been there 'forever' although it needed a rebuild on several occasions. Current pictures of each bridge are shown below.

There is one further bridge near the historic magazines which is currently closed to public access. It had been open for many years, allowing access to a portion of Trelissick Park for native plant restoration, weed removal and predator control but access was closed by KiwiRail and WCC.
