The line it runs

It passes through Halswell, every suburb the line crosses, not just the one its middle sits in.

Runs from John Olliver Reserve to a spot the record does not name, the named ground at each end of the drawn line.

The green it crosses

Parks and reserves whose drawn outline the line enters, measured against the line itself, not a buffer around it.

What carries it

Council-registered structures the drawn line enters or runs within a few metres of, the bridges, boardwalks and steps the route is made of. The register’s names are site labels, so each is "at" the ground it stands in.

  • A footbridge at John Olliver Reserve, built 2010
  • A boardwalk at John Olliver Reserve, 29 m long · built 1998

The reports along it

376 reports pinned within 150 m of the drawn line, most often Trees & parks and Water & drains, 300 with a photograph. A pin is where a reporter stood, not a claim about the track itself.
