“My husband and I went for a leisure walk at Wakaaranga Creek Reserve after work at Wakaaranga Creek Reserve on 15/2/2024. We enjoyed our walk through a number of houses along the hiking trail and then we walked to Palmayra Way. We highly recommend you to take a stroll there if you live close to Half Moon Bay.”
