Description
Odell Reserve is off Punjab Street in Khandallah, Wellington, New Zealand.
View over Wellington and the harbour from Odell Reserve.
The Odell Reserve off-leash area is a brief but pleasant walk, with great views from the top.
The walk starts at Punjab Street, next to #16, and the first few metres are an on-leash area.
Beside and above the reservoir is a small, flat, almost totally fenced area, but this is not included as part of the off-leash portion.
The walk then continues, on-leash, to the Old Porirua Road.
In the grass beside the Reservoir is a small ‘jump’ area for BMX bikes.
This is area #17 on the City Council map: Odell Reserve (115Kb PDF).
